Festive Holiday Towns And Cities inWisconsin

The holiday season is a time of year adored by people across the world. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other holiday this season, this period is a time for joy, family, celebration and relaxation. Everyone prefers to celebrate their holidays differently. Some prefer to spend them at home, while others love celebrating the season at a destination nearby or abroad. There are several appealing Wisconsin destinations to choose from for those looking to spend the holiday season immersed in a winter wonderland.

Wisconsin has snowy weather and an atmosphere of festiveness and excitement throughout the holiday season. If you’re searching for a town or city to spend your holidays in the Badger State, there are several to explore. Let’s look at some of Wisconsin’s best towns and cities to enjoy the holidays.

Milwaukee

Milwaukee is Wisconsin’s biggest city and the heart of its culture. This major urban hub has many of the top restaurants and shops in Wisconsin. Milwaukee is famed for its breweries, museums and scenic Lake Michigan views. Visiting Milwaukee during the holiday season makes for an excellent experience.

Milwaukee’s downtown comes alive this season with the Holiday Light Festival. The downtown lights up to create a festive atmosphere, giving it a perfect wintery look. Activities to enjoy in Milwaukee during the holidays include ice skating at Red Arrow Park, shopping at the Historic Third Ward, or watching holiday classic plays like A Christmas Story at local theaters.

Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva is a popular resort destination in Wisconsin. In the summer, it is filled with tourists looking to enjoy activities such as boating and fishing along the waters of Lake Geneva. While the summer is when Lake Geneva is busiest, it also serves as an exciting holiday destination.

If you love wintery outdoor recreation, Lake Geneva is the place to be this holiday season. There are multiple ski resorts, including Vail Resort and the Grand Geneva Resort. Festive lights shine on multiple ice rinks along the water to create a cozy winter atmosphere. There will be ice sculpture events, thrilling tobogganing hills, and a family-friendly winter vibe.

Cedarburg

Cedarburg is a quiet suburb of Milwaukee, home to around 12,000. It is a scenic community known for its architecture and history, and many 19th-century buildings are scattered throughout the town. It has a cozy feel with inns, bed and breakfasts, antique shops, art galleries, and delicious restaurants. This warm and welcoming vibe makes it a perfect holiday destination.

There’s much to do in and around Cedarburg during the holidays. Ice skating and cross-country skiing are popular activities, and after a long day out, you can relax with a wine tasting from some of the area’s local wineries. There are festive events throughout the holiday season, including cookie-making and more. The biggest event will be the annual Cedarburg Winter Festival, which has food, face-painting booths, and family-friendly holiday fun.

Hayward

Hayward is a small town along the Namekagon River. It is a quiet community home to less than 3,000 but is a popular summer destination for fishing and boating. Hayward is filled with outdoor recreation opportunities, including popular ATV trails that turn into snowmobile trails come winter. The holidays in Hayward are a busy and exciting time.

The biggest holiday event in Hayward is the American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race. In this race, thousands of skiers, ranging from professionals to recreational skiers, race in one of the biggest annual cross-country events. Even if you don’t ski, this event is a great spectacle. Throughout the holiday season, Hayward is decorated in lights and has live entertainment and events in the downtown area.

Those that meet and work with Leigh-Ayne (LA) experience firsthand, her unique ability to connect with people by making them feel like family. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, in pursuit of her passion for voice performance, LA moved east to attend the Milwaukee High School of the Arts. After time spent in Chicago and New York via positions in modeling, event planning, finance, and sales, LA returned to Milwaukee to direct her energy towards a new career in real estate.

Love for her diverse community and a genuine passion for helping people, has helped LA establish herself as a leading resource in the Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Dane counties—with specialized services for clients that are first-time home buyers, investors, or relocating. LA believes everyone deserves luxury service, regardless of price point. This philosophy is emphatically shared by her real estate partner (and mother) Donece Thomas. LA and Donece work together, seamlessly, across every detail, for every client—taking pride in their reputation for best-in-class service.

LA’s longtime involvement with the arts inspires her to remain a constant advocate and she also enjoys volunteering with the Hunger Task Force. Traveling and seeking life-enhancing experiences are a priority for LA, but when she is home, it is about enjoying a good brunch and spending time with her 3-year-old Bernedoodle, Bear.

Layton Real Estate: Three Generations In The Making

Glenn Layton, Sr. started Layton Real Estate in 1967 with a pencil and a pad of paper. Back then, real estate sales were sealed with a handshake over the back fence between friends. In 1990, Glenn Layton Jr. joined his father in the family business. His many years of experience working with people, and his unique knowledge of the oil production business allowed him to help countless families to realize their dreams throughout his tenure in real estate. The locally owned and operated business is now in the hands of Barbara Layton-Kearney (Glenn Layton Jr.'s youngest daughter). When Barbara joined in 2003, she brought along her skills and expertise in computers, customer service, sales, and marketing from her thirteen years in the corporate world. She became the Broker/Owner of the business in 2008. Personal integrity was (and still is) the driving force for all of Layton Real Estate’s transactions.

Why Iowa is a Gem for Buyers Seeking a Home in the Midwest

The Midwest is a region of the country that has long been a desirable place to live. Whether it is the welcoming locals or the delicious farm-fresh food, it has much to offer. Iowa is a distinct Midwestern state well-known for its thriving agriculture, vibrant communities, and gorgeous natural scenery.

For homebuyers seeking a state to relocate to, Iowa is a top-notch option with a diverse selection of places to live. Let’s look at some aspects of Iowa that make it a perfect place to settle down.

Natural Beauty

Iowa has a sprawling landscape filled with forests and rivers, making it a scenic Midwest state with plenty to explore. The diverse geography means that there are plenty of natural wonders here, ranging from waterfalls to caverns. Dunning’s Spring Park is one of the state’s most famous natural sites, where visitors can follow a boardwalk trail through a forest to a 200-foot flowing waterfall.

There is an abundance of gorgeous nature that can be enjoyed on the many hiking and biking trails. Effigy Mounds National Monument contains prehistoric mounds from its native communities and is located in a deep forested area that turns vibrant colors in autumn. Pikes Peak State Park is a gorgeous, densely forested park along the Mississippi River.

Pleasant Towns & Cities

An array of ideal locations will excite homebuyers, and the state’s affordability means that they can take their pick of any area that suits them.

Iowa’s big cities have a lot to offer. Des Moines is famed for the Iowa State Capitol building, a thriving art and museum scene, and excellent restaurants and shopping. Cedar Rapids has a picturesque waterfront, the highly regarded Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and pleasant parks and public greenery. Iowa also has many quaint smaller towns, like Clive, Johnston, and North Liberty, with much to offer as well.

Emerging Economy

Iowa has a strong, thriving economy powered by its agriculture and manufacturing sectors. It is one of the most important places in the country for food production, but even if you aren’t interested in these industries, there are plenty of other lucrative jobs in the state.

Numerous major corporations are based out of Iowa and provide jobs to its residents, including Principal Financial, Hy-Vee, Casey’s General Store, and Winnebago Industries. The economy is particularly diverse in Iowa’s biggest cities, where options are available in an array of fields.

Affordability

Kingston is a historic community located around a 2-hour drive from New York City. This aOne of the best aspects of living in Iowa is the abundance of affordable options. Unlike many other parts of the country, you can find high-quality spacious homes at a reasonable price in the Hawkeye State. In a 2022 comprehensive report by Homebuyer. com, Iowa was ranked the most affordable state in the country to buy a home. This report factored in the cost of a home within the state and the median household income.

If you want to live in a state where your dollar stretches far, Iowa is perfect for you. Even in the biggest cities in the state, you won’t struggle to find a home for a price much less than the national average. In Des Moines, Iowa’s biggest city, the median sales price was $193,000, according to Redfin (October 2022).
