Whitewater, Wisconsin - An Awesome Place to Call Home! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in Whitewater, Wisconsin is wonderful and I can't picture calling any place else home. People here are just really great, they are neighborly and personable and happy to help each other. There are quite a few jobs available especially in the production and manufacturing se ...Read More ctor. And the cost of living is quite reasonable!

What I like best about living in Whitewater is all of the outdoor activities that you can do. There are several different parks to take the kids to and play, or even have a family cookout at as there are quite a few shelters that you can rent there too. Whitewater Lake is known for it's aquatic adventures like canoeing or fishing, and there are even places where you can set up camp and trails for hiking.

The Kettle Moraine State Forest is my favorite place to visit. It's wonderful to spend the day there, breathing in the fresh air and seeing all of nature's beauty. If you are lucky, you may see some critters too in their natural habitat! Read Less
