Northeastern Minnesota, Northwestern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan draw individuals and families who value the outdoors and a more relaxed lifestyle, without having to sacrifice cultural and educational opportunities.

Both Minnesota and Wisconsin rank in the top half of the nation for lower cost of living, according to The Council for Community and Economic Research, and the northern parts of the state are even more affordable than the larger cities.
