Waunakee Reviews
Rating 3.34 out of 5 35 reviews
I love Waunakee, there are a lot of nice people, good schools, great parks, and even some nightlife! Although, some people can be very "snobby", it's a very expensive place to live, and we do have some issues with people snatching packages from your front door or stealing them out of the boxes.
Waunakee is a very charming and unique town. It has a wide assortment of charming boutiques and family-owned restaurants. I have a lot of close friends that live walking distance from my house, even if they live almost all the way across town. I love it here!
I have lived in Waunakee for 11 years and there has been a drastic improvement in the downtown area from 11 years ago. I have loved seeing the transformation from an out-of-date town to a modern, homey town. There are tons of cute, local shops on Main Street from decor to candle shops to clothing boutiques. The school district is excellent and exceed in athletics as well as providing a safe environment to learn in. Waunakee is a safe community that is friendly and welcoming!
