When thinking about moving, you have to weigh the pros and cons. But in the Northwoods, the pros far outweigh the cons–everything you need is here! From work needs to lifestyle needs, the Northwoods meets them all.

You may think, “How am I going to work since there’s limited service in the Northwoods?” With high-speed WiFi quickly expanding across the area, now you can work remotely while living up North in a home you love. Click here for a few featured listings you just may fall in love with…

Not to mention, the area’s downtowns are thriving, thanks to driven newcomers who have started unique, small businesses, revamping the community. With a variety of new shops and restaurants, ALL your lifestyle needs will be met, from shopping to dining, but without the traffic. 

The best part? You will be supporting fellow community members. Together, you’ll further foster the culture of community prided in the Northwoods.

The perks of living in the Northwoods don’t stop there…Right at your fingertips, you’ll have access to endless outdoor adventures, no matter the season, from the vast, remote wilderness to the World’s Largest Chain of 28 Connected Lakes. 

In the warmth of summer and spring, the area is full of breathtaking hiking and biking trails. To note, the Bearskin State Trail, located in Minocqua, showcases the stunning Northwoods beauty–including views of the iconic picturesque pines. 

While the beautiful landscapes provide a plethora of adventures, the waterways make a paradise for paddlers, boaters, and fishermen alike. For paddlers, the Wisconsin River offers miles and miles of ever-changing scenery, winding throughout Vilas County. 

For boating enthusiasts, the Eagle River Chain of Lakes is just for you. Cruise from lake to lake, soaking up the sunshine. To add a little competition, pack your poles for a chance to catch smaller species like panfish and bass to trophy-class walleye, pike, and musky. 

The Chain is certainly a fantastic fishery, but there are many, many more lakes in the area flourishing with fish! In fact, there are over 1,300 lakes in Vilas County. So, fisherman, take your pick! 

As the cooler temperatures approach, the Northwoods transforms into a winter wonderland, with even more outdoor adventures–like snowmobiling! After all, Eagle River is the Snowmobile Capital of the World (and home to over 500 miles of trails).

3. Local Services

Purchasing a home inevitably comes with maintenance. But up North, there are countless local, home-related services to ease your stress. From remodeling and lawn care to cleaning inside and out, there’s a service to meet every need. 

And the local services extend far beyond the home. The Northwoods is home to multiple marinas and power sports centers and provides services for ALL your recreational equipment. They even offer the latest and greatest equipment in the industry, so you can keep your fleet fresh. 

Ladies, you may be wondering, what about beauty services? Don’t you worry, the Northwoods has it all from salons to spas!
