When people think about moving to western Wisconsin, places like Hudson or River Falls often come to mind. But there are some lesser-known towns that offer incredible charm, community spirit, and value. Here are three underrated towns you should definitely keep on your radar:
1. Baldwin
A tight-knit community with a classic small-town feel, Baldwin is perfect for families and anyone looking for a quieter lifestyle while still being close to the Twin Cities. The parks, schools, and local shops make Baldwin a hidden treasure.
2. Prescott
Sitting right where the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers meet, Prescott offers stunning water views, a quaint downtown, and an easy commute to the metro. It’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and those who love a bit of riverfront living.
3. Ellsworth
Known as the Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin, Ellsworth is more than just dairy fame. It’s a community-rich town with affordable homes, great schools, and a growing local economy. Plus, the scenic farmland views are unbeatable.
