    Marquette

    What's it like to live in Marquette?

    Lakeside beauty defines Marquette, where homes near Lake Monona enjoy waterfront recreation access and spectacular sunset views over the state capitol. Residents appreciate the neighborhood's central location with walking distance to both downtown employment and the University of Wisconsin campus. Though winter brings significant snow requiring serious cold-weather preparation, the spectacular summer months with outdoor dining options and lake activities compensate for seasonal challenges. The area's architectural diversity spans historic mansions to modernist waterfront homes, creating varied housing options beyond cookie-cutter alternatives while maintaining the cohesive character that makes Madison's lakefront neighborhoods distinctive.

Overview of Findings

Key findings in Madison include the following:

  • The highest-rated categories for Madison were commute time and social life, which both received A+ grades.
  • The areas of concern to Madison were weather (D) and affordability (B).
  • Millennial renters are very satisfied with their city, giving it an overall rating of A+.
  • Madison did relatively well compared to other cities in Wisconsin, including Milwaukee (B-).
  • Madison did relatively well compared to other Great Lakes cities, including Chicago, IL (B-), Cleveland, OH (C) and Detroit, MI (F).

Renters say:

  • "Amazing town. So much to do and it’s so easy to make new friends." – Megan W.
  • "I love that Madison is a small town and a great place to raise a child. However, rent is very high and there’s a long waiting list for low-income assistance." – Brianna R.
  • "Having a college campus in the middle of a city is amazing. But Madison is not as racially inclusive as it thinks it is, which can be uncomfortable if you’re not white." – Savannah W.
