Moving to Madison, where should we live?
My family will be moving to Madison this summer. Most likely will be there for only a few years and no school-age children so not worried about the schools. Husband will be working near the capital and doesn't want a long commute. Trying to decide between east side and west side...which is better? I've been told that the commute is easier coming in from the west side (compared to east); that the east side is more blue collar and west side white collar; and to avoid areas south of the beltway. Opinions? We're just looking to rent and at this point, feel like we've read every listing on craigslist. Would like a house or townhome. We've been looking outside the city but not opposed to being in the city as long as we aren't near the college/party crowd. Been told Middleton is nice but haven't heard much about other areas. Keep seeing listings in Sun Prarie and a few that say they're located in the "new east side" (what is this area?). We're going out in a couple weeks to look around and to hopefully sign a lease while there. Would be nice if we could narrow down our search before we fly out. Thanks!
