La Crosse: The city at the river, ringed by bluffs.
La Crosse is the largest city in the region, set on the Mississippi River below the sandstone bluffs of the Driftless. It carries the amenities of a small city, the University of Wisconsin, a riverfront downtown, and quick access out of town to farms and acreage.

What buyers and sellers ask about La Crosse
For sellers, La Crosse buyers come down from the north side of the metro. For buyers, it is the most urban matter on this list.
Property in La Crosse spans country homes, hobby farms, tillable acres and recreation tracts, so the right price and marketing plan depend on the place. I have worked the Wisconsin side of this corner of the Driftless for 13 years and can give you a straight read on value before you list or buy.
