SUN PRAIRIE AT A GLANCE

For those who are thinking about moving to Wisconsin, there’s no doubt this quaint city has much to offer. Featuring hills that are always described as gently-rolling, residents especially love the fact that they can walk down virtually any street and strike up a conversation with someone they know. In fact, it’s not unusual to see folks sitting on park benches during the spring and summer, reading the latest edition of the city’s local paper or talking about the great meal they had the day before at a local pizzeria or diner, which are popular stop for many residents.

When it’s time for some fun and exercise, many people head to the Family Aquatic Center. A municipal swimming pool that opened in 1992, it also has sand volleyball courts and playgrounds for younger kids, allowing the whole family to have hours of fun in one spot.

Real Estate

Throughout Wisconsin, the consensus seems to be that moving to this city is a decision that is rarely if ever regretted. With average home prices ranging from just over $165,000 for a one-bedroom house to slightly under $350,000 for a four-bedroom home, families as well as young professionals and even retirees can find a wonderful spot to call home. Praised as being a very kid-friendly community and having plenty of activities for all ages during the summer months, it appears homes in the area are becoming more and more popular as the city’s reputation reaches far beyond its borders. Over the years, many of its neighborhoods, including Burgess Corners, Drovers Woods, and City View Heights, have been acclaimed for not only their beautiful properties, but also their friendliness.

Fun Things To Do

When people are looking to move to a spot in the Midwest where they and their families can have plenty of fun, SP is number one. For starters, since it’s known as the “Groundhog Capital of the World,” folks just know there has to be a celebration held each February. Thus, each February 2nd, the city comes together to honor local favorite Jimmy the Groundhog on his special day. But in addition to this get-together, residents can also take part in the Taste of the Arts Fair, which is held each June in honor of famed artist Georgia O’Keefe, one of SP’s most distinguished citizens. Later on in August, many plan on visiting the Sweet Corn Festival. Featuring a carnival, downtown parade, and performances by local musical groups, it claims to sell and serve more than 70 short tons of sweet corn during the course of the weekend’s festivities.

With so much to offer in terms of excellent homes, plenty of family-friendly activities, and schools that rank near the top in the state, Sun Prairie is fast becoming a prime destination for people moving away from urban areas in search of peace and tranquility. For those who are eager to say hello to Jimmy the Groundhog and have a great meal at a local diner, it’s time to pack their bags and put down roots in SP.
