Madison, Wisconsin

Long known as the home to the highly, acclaimed University of Wisconsin-Madison, this area is bursting with outstanding attractions for visitors of all ages - and interests. The area also boasts a wide range of exceptional dining options for the most savvy of palates, limitless outdoor recreational opportunities, extensive cultural arts forums and shopping outlets which rival international travel destinations.

The residents here all agree - the Madison area boasts the sophistication of much larger cities with the astonishing natural beauty and ambiance of some of the world's most beautiful locales. Frank Lloyd Wright called this area home, a high tribute indeed.

Venture out in any direction from Madison and, amid the rolling green landscapes, you'll encounter charming ethnic caves, fascinating artistic communities and some of the state's most interesting tourist attractions.

To the west, the Spring Green area features Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin estate and the American Players Theatre. Head southwest and you'll encounter the "mustard capital of the world" along the "trollway" of Mount Horeb, and further on, a restored Cornish miner settlement in Mineral Point. Due east is the village of Cambridge, known as the "pottery center of the Midwest," and Fort Atkinson, home of the famous Fireside Dinner Theatre.

Between performances by the Madison Repertory Theater, Madison Opera and Madison Symphony, touring productions at Overture Center for the Arts, and a full schedule of performances at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's many venues, there is world-class entertainment to be found just about any night. Madison was recently recognized by A & E Network as one of the "Top Ten Cities To Have It All," Madison continually ranks as one of the best places to live, work and play in the United States.

With many first-rate educational institutions, such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Edgewood College, Madison Area Technical College, and the Madison Metropolitan School District, Madison is an intellectual center for Wisconsin. Thousands of students and the vibrant campus cultures contribute to the area's youthful spirit.

Housing is plentiful and the choices almost limitless in Madison, from a downtown "pad" to a suburban home with a large lot, Madison offers it all. Price tags come in a huge variety as well, with a two bedroom condo ranging in price from $100,000 to $120,000 and a dongle family home ranging from $80,000 all the way into the millions for an executive home.

There's something for everyone in the Madison area. Big city action and small town charm...a rich cultural calendar...sensational shopping...and endless recreational opportunities amid stunning natural beauty. A visit to the Madison area is always non-stop fun, all year long!
