WHY MADISON IS ONE OF THE BEST CITIES TO RESIDE IN THE MIDWEST

Madison is Wisconsin’s capital, a scenic historical city on Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. Although Madison is an urban area, it is also steeped in natural beauty. Let’s look at what makes Madison such a standout place to live.

FOOD, DRINK, AND CULTURE

Madison residents benefit from one of the best food and drink scenes in the U.S. Madison hosts many craft breweries that produce a variety of delicious beers, along with several major beer-based festivals throughout the year. Also, Madison’s food scene benefits from the area’s thriving agricultural industry, particularly the renowned cheese produced nearby.

Madison’s downtown is a busy hub with a thriving nightlife, which is partially due to the presence of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the state’s bestknown flagship university. The downtown houses more than 1,500 businesses, including shops, bars, and restaurants.
