A Madison suburb that only feels miles away

Green Space Parks Outdoor Adventures Family-Friendly

Even though it sits directly south of Madison, Fitchburg feels miles away. The University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum is on the north end of the city, along with Capital Springs State Recreation Area, giving the city a wooded, suburban appearance. The south end of the neighborhood features rolling farmland, adding to the pastoral feel.

When choosing a Fitchburg apartment, be aware that the north side, closer to Madison, is slightly more populated. The commercial center of the city is along Verona Road, while the south side features more open green space. The city offers more than 700 acres of park space and includes hiking trails, greenways, a community center, and a golf course.
