If you’re looking for a city that’s full of character but lacks the buzz of a large metropolis, Burlington offers scenic living with plenty to do. Just 35 miles southwest of Milwaukee, Burlington sits within a nexus of rivers, parks, and lakes. The city itself was incorporated in 1900 and has a vibrant downtown area with historic buildings and quaint shops.
Grab a bite to eat along Pine St. or Milwaukee Ave., and catch a show at the Plaza Theater 4. Wherever your apartment is, you’re sure to be near a park in Burlington. There’s Echo Park on the lake, Devor Park just outside the downtown area, and plenty more that line the waterways, including a dog park. Every year on Memorial Day weekend, the nearby Nestle chocolate factory inspires the city to put on ChocolateFest, a celebration of all things sweet. Thousands of people from around the country flock to Burlington to experience the fun.
Once you’ve found a rental, I-43 and I-94 will be your best friends if you commute to work, or if you’re simply travelling the rest of the state.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
