Prescott, WI

Sitting right where the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers meet, Prescott offers a scenic, small-town atmosphere right on the edge of the Twin Cities metro area. With a population of around 4,500, the town has deep roots as a historic river landing, and life here still revolves around the water. The downtown area features relaxed riverfront restaurants, marinas, and blufftop parks, making it a great home base for boaters and outdoor lovers.

For anyone thinking about moving here, Prescott combines a close-knit community feel with an easy daily commute. Families are served by a dedicated local school district covering elementary through high school, along with plenty of neighborhood parks and youth activities. With U.S. Highway 10 and Wisconsin 35 running right through town, getting to Hastings, River Falls, or the Twin Cities for work and entertainment is quick and simple, making it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds.
