An up-and-coming city in southern Wisconsin

Scenic River Lake Community Events

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.
