The downtown offers a variety of shops and restaurants, contributing to a vibrant cultural scene. Many locals enjoy the sense of safety and friendliness in their neighborhoods. However, some express concerns about the limited job market and the higher cost of living compared to wages, which can pose challenges for renters. Public transportation options are also noted to be somewhat lacking, making a car a necessity for many.
Wausau's 2025 rental market shows one-bedroom apartments averaging around $830 per month, while two-bedroom units rent for around $1,000 per month. These figures represent the current market rates across the city's available inventory.

Wausau offers good options for pet owners, with 44% of rental listings welcoming pets. This represents a substantial portion of the city's average 164 monthly available apartments, reflecting the needs of animal-loving tenants across the rental market.
Utilities are rarely included in Wausau rental properties, appearing in less than 1% of total listings across all apartment types. This pattern holds consistent whether you're looking at studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom units throughout the city.
