Meadow Crossing
Neighborhood in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
Dane County 53590
Veridian Homes developed Meadow Crossing in the 2010s
Houses in Meadow Crossing are quite new, all built since 2010. “It’s a quiet neighborhood of single-family homes,” says Paul Treige, a new homes specialist with Veridian. While the homes tend to be similar because they were all built by the same company, there is still some variety in designs. Home styles include Colonial Revival, ranch-style homes, and Craftsman styles. Prices range from $400,000 to $580,000. “It’s a matter of price point, quality and location,” Treige says. “Sun Prairie has been a steady growth market, and there’s been a shortage of homes. If you build a decent neighborhood with decent houses, people will come.” Because the neighborhood is new and is bordered by open farmland, there aren’t many mature trees yet. A few condos sit along the western edge of Meadow Crossing. They cost between $350,000 and $400,000.

Sprint car races and a volunteer-built playground within Angell Park area
The Angell Park Speedway is across Grove Street and hosts sprint car races throughout the summer. Within the same park complex, the Sun Prairie Dream Park is a volunteer-built and volunteer-maintained playground tucked amidst tall trees and decorated with art by area kids. During winter months, the Sun Prairie Ice Arena is just south of the Angell Park complex. Uplands Parks has trails, picnic tables and a playground. Smaller Glacier Crossing Park is another park in the neighborhood.

Sun Prairie Mayor gets an earful on Groundhog Day
Sun Prairie’s farmers market runs all year, moving indoors during the winter. “They also do a Groundhog Day event,” Deadman says. “A number of years back, the groundhog bit the mayor’s ear as he leaned in to listen to the prediction. It was a big to-do.” The other major event is the annual Sweet Corn Festival, which takes place in August. Participants go through about 80 tons of sweet corn, all Wisconsin-grown.

Access to Madison and surrounding communities
Sun Prairie’s location is a significant part of its appeal. “I think people like the location as it relates to the Madison area,” Deadman says. “It’s on the northeast side of Madison, so you can easily get anywhere by going up north on Highway 151. You can head up to Green Bay, Appleton, Columbus, Beaver Dam, any of those communities.” Downtown Madison is about 17 miles away. “You can get downtown in like 18 minutes,” Treige says. “And you’re basically 6 minutes from the interstate to Milwaukee.” Interstate 94 is about 5 miles south of Meadow Crossing. University of Wisconsin Health’s East Madison Hospital is under 8 miles away, and the Dane County Regional Airport is about 12 miles away.Specialty pizzas on offer at Sal’s Tomato Pies
Across town, western Sun Prairie, particularly along Grand Avenue, has seen intense growth in recent years. “There’s a Menards, a Costco, a Target, all these strip malls,” Deadman says. “If you need it, it's on Grand Avenue.” Quite a few chain restaurants dot that area as well. For locally owned dining closer to Meadow Crossing, residents can enjoy one of the Madison area’s favorite pizzerias, Sal’s Tomato Pies or sample pints at Full Mile Beer Company & Kitchen. “Chicken Licks is just outside Sun Prairie, not far from Meadow Crossing,” Deadman says. “They have really good chicken wings.” For groceries, the closest option is a Pick ’n Save just north of the neighborhood.
