Verona, Wisconsin: Favorites

What’s your favorite thing about living in Verona?

Being close to family. (Robin, 5 months)
Convenience to shopping. (Debra, 18 months)
The convenience of a city, in a village-like setting. (Melanie, 2 years)
The people. (Anonymous, 5 years)
It’s a fairly quiet town and close to the city. I love having a locally owned grocery store that is right downtown and not a big chain store. (Amanda, 11 years)
Small town atmosphere, community access to things like the library, pool, bike paths, dog park, baseball/soccer fields and parks. The schools are excellent in having resources to provide to students (iPads and music programs). (Jessica, 14 years)

Verona, Wisconsin: Least Favorites

What’s your least favorite thing about living in Verona?

Missing my friends. (Robin, 5 months)
Taxes. (Debra, 18 months)
No high-speed internet in my neighborhood. (Melanie, 2 years)
Home prices. (Anonymous, 5 years)
Not many good options, most places serve primarily burgers and chicken. I would love some variety without having to drive into Fitchburg/Madison. There is nothing to do for entertainment since the bowling alley closed and because a church, and there is no laundromat. House prices have jumped up significantly, rent is high as well. (Amanda, 11 years)
The way we spend money, how much is being spent on the Matt House for it to be a museum? I’d rather see an outside pool or after school center for teens. I also don’t like that the farmers market left. (Jessica, 14 years)

Verona, Wisconsin: Advice

Any advice for people moving to Verona?

Good luck finding a house you can afford. (Robin, 5 months)
Walk around town, you will enjoy the view and friendly people you meet. (Debra, 18 months)
Take the plunge! Lots of lovely people, great neighborhoods and beautiful scenery. (Melanie, 2 years)
Taxes are high- make sure you know what your yearly tax rate will be when you buy your home. (Anonymous, 5 years)
I would advise against it. Taxes are high, houses are hard to find at a reasonable price. It’s either condos or $400,000+ houses. The community is growing far too fast and feeling less and less communal every year. Many chain restaurants/businesses are coming in. The plan for where Ace Hardware is sounds ridiculous. What screams hometown?…not a three story retail front box diagonal to the over valued Matt’s House in downtown. (Jessica, 14 years)
