Eau Claire Overview

Roughly translating to mean 'good water',  Eau Claire is a bustling city located in the heart of Wisconsin. Combining welcoming ambiance and plenty of exquisite natural scenery, this blue collar hot spot is home to over 60,000 proud residents and an excellent choice for anyone in the market for a new place to call home in the Mid-West.

What is the history of Eau Claire?

Established in the mid-1800s, the city was officially incorporated in 1872. The numerous river valleys of the local geography helped establish the city as a logging town, and the creation of a hydroelectric dam near the turn of the century helped propel the local economy even further, with close to 22 saw mills operational at one time. Tire manufacturing came to the city in the 1900s, and by the 1990s Eau Claire morphed into a center of computer hardware manufacturing as well as Silver Spring Foods. 

How is the weather in Eau Claire?

This being the proper Mid-West, those living in Eau Claire apartments can anticipate ice and snow most winters, with summers warm and occasionally humid. Atumn and spring both tend to be quite pleasant, with cooler temperatures in effect.

How do I get around town?

Eau Claire Transit as well as Greyhound handle local bus service, with rail service largely reserved for freight. Still, most residents of Eau Claire apartments tend to own at least one car or truck, and the Chippewa Velley Regional Airport services much of the air travel needs. Taxis, ride sharing options such as Lyft and even bicycling are all additional popular modes of getting around.

What is the Eau Claire commute like?

Interstate 94 is a primary road in the region, and U.S. Routes 12, 53 and 29 all criss-cross the city limits. Highway 312 is generally referred to as 'the North Crossing' by locals, and those driving around town can often expect relatively smooth flowing traffic conditions.  

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Eau Claire Leader-Telegram' is a primary print outlet in the city, with radio a mixture of modern rock, adult contemporary and country hits, with 88.3 FM regulated for Wisonsin Public Radio. A half dozen or so broadcasting stations can be found in the region as well, including affiliates for NBC, FOX and WHWC handling PBS feeds.

Why live in Eau Claire, WI?

Home to a wide array of public parks, sporting teams and an increasingly thriving arts community, Eau Claire apartments are consistently in demand for good reason. 'America's Promise' listed the city as one of its 'Top 100 Spots For Young People', and Eau Claire is designated as a 'Tree City', one of the first in Wisconsin to be so. Brimming with Mid-Western charm, Eau Claire rentals are an excellent way to connect with this dynamic city.

What Eau Claire landmarks should I see?

Take in a show at the Sarge Boyd Bandshell, in use since the 1930s, and the Hobbs Municipal Ice Center is a great spot to get your skating moves down pat. Owen Park offers gorgeous views of local rivers as well as plenty of recreation areas, and the Chippewa River State Trail is flush with running trails and plenty of bird seeing opportunities.

What is there to do around Eau Claire?

Enjoy some drama with the kids at a performance by the Eau Claire Children's Theater, or stroll the scenic grounds of the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, both within easy reach of a number of nearby Eau Claire apartments for rent. Geno's Pizza is known for miles around as the best pie in town, and Clean Water Comedy Club presents national performers on every weekend.

Any annual festivals or Eau Claire events to know?

The Blue Ox Music Fest presents an abundance of live bands every year, and the Eau Claire Jazz Festival draws large crowds from all over the state. Country Jam USA also combines tasty local cuisine offerings with toe-tapping western jams, always a favorite with locals in Eau Claire apartments.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Drive to the nightlife center of Minneapolis, only a few short hours from many Eau Claire rentals, or take to the wild with a visit to one of the many fishing and boasting options of Wisconsin's lakes. Green Bay is an excellent spot to shop for records or enjoy some cheese curds, or soak up the college town ambiance of Madison, a great weekend escape for anyone calling Eau Claire rentals home.

Where is the best place to move in Eau Claire?

Whether you are in the market for a roomy two bedroom unit close to the university campus, or desire a luxurious downtown spread complete with onsite amenities such as reserved parking and sweeping river views, we're confident the ideal Eau Claire rental is out there waiting for you. Start your hunt today for the next great Wisconsin apartment in your life!
