Peaceful subdivisions on the east edge of town
There’s a lot to love about East Madison, a portion of town on the cusp of where suburbs meet rural farmland. “One of the biggest draws is just the phenomenal location,” says Realtor Brandon Buell of Realty Executives Cooper Spransy. “You’re right in Madison, but also close to Chicago, Milwaukee, the Dells. It’s all so close.” In addition to proximity to all of Madison’s major interstates and the airport, East Madison has a deep mix of shopping and dining options, planned subdivisions with newer homes and two highly rated school districts.

Several ways to stay active in East Madison
There is no shortage of ways to stay active in East Madison, with most subdivisions built around walkable neighborhood parks and larger outdoor amenities just a short drive away. Reston Heights Park is a great spot to pack a picnic and enjoy some open green space, play a game of basketball or let the little ones run wild on the playground. For tennis and pickleball, the locals grab a paddle and head to Richmond Hill Park. With plenty of soccer fields, Richmond Hill is also a popular spot for youth sporting events. At nearly 160 acres, one of the largest neighborhood parks is Door Creek Park, which offers scenic hiking trails. Door Creek Golf Course was voted Best of Madison for multiple years and is one of two courses in the neighborhood. Anytime Fitness offers an indoor spot for recreation and exercise during the cold winter months.

A convenient spot for commuters
The location of East Madison relative to the local interstates is one of the area’s biggest assets, according to Shelly Sprinkman, owner and broker of Sprinkman Real Estate. “We have a lot of people who work from home most days but who occasionally have to commute to Chicago or Milwaukee on Interstates 90/94. If you move to the west side of Madison, you’re adding 30 to 45 minutes onto those commute times,” Sprinkman says. “And maybe one person in a couple works in Madison and the other works in Milwaukee — living on that side of town makes it real easy.” In addition, Sprinkman says that as Epic has grown to become one of Madison’s biggest employers, so too has the number of direct flights available at the Dane County Regional Airport. It's just about 7 miles away.
East Madison can be accessed by I-94 and I-39 near the interchange at the middle of the area.
East Madison residents can easily navigate the area using I-90.
