Madison is the capitol of Wisconsin and home to the University of Wisconsin Madison and their beloved Badgers. Madison is a lake town, a college town and a cultural epicenter of music, art, theater and film. It’s all surrounded by outdoor beauty, quaint little farming towns, ranches, and lakes, lakes lakes. Gorgeous country.
Madison has acquired several nicknames over the years: Mad City, Madtown, the Berkeley of the Midwest, the People’s Republic of Madison, the Athens of the Midwest, 78 square miles surrounded by reality, Lake City and the City of Four Lakes.
The long list of nicknames is a good representation of life in Madison. It’s weird. It’s liberal. It can get pretty crazy, and there are a lot of lakes. The young, progressive people of Madison have played a role in the creation of these nicknames by cultivating a mad-crazy culture of live music, art and lots of craft beer.
Madison is the greatest college sports town in America. That is a firmly held belief for local Madison residents, as well as ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and Sports Illustrated. So show your support for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, the venerable mascot, Buckingham U. Badger (aka Bucky Badger), and the cardinal-white uniform.
As of today, Madison's median rent price is $1,675 per month, which is up 2%, or $36, compared to last year.
