Walkability Personified
The downtown area of Madison is a wonderful example of how a large city can defy a car culture. State Street, downtown, is car free and is a long row of shops, restaurants and bars. Bike, skate or walk to the grocery stores. All types of outdoor sports are catered to either on land on on the lakes, and are good reasons that the city is always named in the healthiest places to live lists.

Late Night Dining
Whether you are a student on a budget or have more money in your pocket for dining out, Madison's food scene is excellent. Near the capital there are upscale fine dining places like Delmonico's and Continental Cafe both of which have nice ambience and extensive wine lists. Because it is a university town, you'll find plenty of places that stay open late - very late.
Lush Nights
The nightlife is Madison rocks. Literally. Even small coffee houses and wine bars have live music many nights of the week. The High Noon Saloon is known for its Indy bands and local acts. For real nightclub, The Majestic near the capital is upscale with a lushatmosphere and great music. Wherever your Madison apartment is located, you won't be far from anything whether it is a small, friendly neighborhood bar or a big dance club.
Madson is every aspect of living at its best!
