Jackson

Nestled within the rolling hills of Washington County, Jackson offers "Small Town Living and World Class Technology," according to the official website. Originally settled in the 1800s, the village was named after President Andrew Jackson and has since become a popular destination for those in search of a quiet, suburban lifestyle. 

With a population of nearly 7,200 and growing, the village has a mix of new construction and older homes. The median home price in Jackson sits in the high $200,000s-to-low-$300,000s range. 

With parks and forests in every direction, residents enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and skiing at the Little Switzerland resort in nearby Slinger. Moreover, the Jackson Marsh State Natural Area provides 1,571 acres of preserved land to explore nature. 

Residents of Jackson enjoy a peaceful quality of life and a strong sense of community. The village is home to a variety of small businesses and restaurants along WI-60, or Main Street. The West Bend School District serves the area and has a reputation for providing a quality education to its students. 

Located about 30 miles north of Milwaukee via I-41, Jackson offers easy access to big-city amenities while still maintaining its small-town feel.
