Ripon, WI Home for Rent

Ripon is a small Wisconsin community of about 7,800 people, home to a private college, some large employers and a historic and walkable downtown. “I think that it has a lot to offer, along with a revitalized downtown area with great shopping experiences and dining venues,” says Joan Karsten, a Ripon-based broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Special Properties. “Our school system here is excellent. We also have a lot of people who live near where they work, and we have a very strong industrial base.” Ripon is also less than 10 miles from Green Lake, where many here go to fish, sail and try out other water sports. The City of Ripon lies within the surrounding Town of Ripon, most of which consists of quiet farmland with a few barns and silos. Ripon was founded in the late 1800s, and city homes are located along streets lined by mature trees and include "beautiful old Victorians," Karsten says. “We also have a lot of new buildings on the outskirts of town with different developments, so it’s a nice mixture of old and new neighborhoods with all different styles.” Housing here includes Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, ranch-style, Cape Cod and Gable and Wing homes.
