Oshkosh & Eau ClaireYou'll Love Living in Wisconsin
Why? Think about what matters most to you. If location is key, cost of living is important, and summers on the lake sound nice, you’ll love being a Wisconsinite.
- Affordable living – Build a comfortable life within your means with a lower cost of living. You’ll thrive on the “Third Coast.”
- Family-friendly communities – Raise your kids with library programs, an extensive park system, and a good education. (We’re No. 5 in the nation for quality public schools.)
- Four seasons to love – Fest it up in summer, apple pick in fall, snowmobile in winter, and garden in spring.
- The ideal location – Enjoy the shores of two of the Great Lakes, a stable climate, and easy access to Chicago and Minneapolis (by car, train, and plane).
- Nationally ranked health care – Access superior medical care from top-ranking hospitals. Our health care quality even ranks in the top ten.

“The sense of belonging, purpose, and community. That’s what the people of Wisconsin really bring. There are so many opportunities to do so many cool things and I just love to do all of those things with my family and friends.”
