Moving to Baraboo
What to Expect
As you would expect, moving to such an awesome place costs a little money. The average rental rate is 5 percent higher than the rest of Wisconsin. But that's okay, it's a fair price to pay for all of the things Baraboo has to offer, and house rental rates always depend on the part of town and the size of your space, it's definitely possible to find cheaper, or more elaborate options.
When to Move
Timing your move can be tricky, if you move in the summer, you have to battle the extra population with all the tourists, but moving in the winter can cause problems too with snow and ice.
