Current Resident: Evansville is a very strong and safe small town community. It offers a very wonderful place to raise a family and a convenient location for professionals being only 25 minutes to Madison or 20 minutes towards Janesville it’s a great in between city to live . Moved here 24 years ago, our children have been able to participate in many school activities and local clubs such as theatre, music, sports, dance, and a strong scouting program here. With Lake Leota as a base setting, the area boasts of beautiful lakes, rivers, and parks for outdoor activities. We have a very strong community base of adults who volunteer for community events. The Evansville 4th of July, is one of the most attended and well organized events in the area. This event includes a large parade , best music, and amazing fireworks in southern Wisconsin. Lined with a sweet cobblestone street downtown, and old Victorian houses, our visiting friends once called Evansville, the little Norman Rockwell town.

Milton

• Town in Wisconsin
• 10

Current Resident: I became a part of the Milton, WI community my freshman year of high school when my family moved in with my grandmother to take care of her. Ever since I switched school districts and became fully embursed in the city of Milton, I have gotten a true taste of what a close community is like. Everyone in Milton is very friendly and seem to know each other pretty well. Everyone at the schools is very friendly and the teachers care about their students' education.

Beloit

• Town in Wisconsin
• 70

Current Resident: Beloit has a very good highschool which is always innovating and trying new things. In recent years local philanthropist Diane Hendricks has invested large sums of money into cleaning up, and raising the the city to a higher standard. Which has helped greatly in beloit otherwise unfairly negative image. There is a growing economy, and the area seems to breed talent from the arts to stem fields. That being said while beloit it nicely spaced between Milwaukee, and Chicago if your not trying to drive and hour to find somthing to do it can be dull from time to time. All in all, there isnt much to complain about at the moment, and the city is growing every day!
