Love it here! 4 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 24, 2022) Prairie du sac (which locals call "Sauk Prairie" because of it's proximity to Sauk City), is such a quaint place to live.
It is a very close-knit community that puts alot of emphasis on supporting local businesses and giving back to it's community. Upon entering, you will notice ...Read More that, between Sauk and Prairie, are a couple main roads that have many little shops and local businesses, but scattered all along the residential areas are quiet parks and great schools. It is not uncommon to see people walking their dogs, tending to their beautiful yards, or kids playing outside in the neighborhood.
You will also find many bike enthusiasts, who like to take long rides down our beautiful trails along the Wisconsin River.

There are also many festivities throughout the year for families to be a part of as well! Like Fire on the Water event near July 4th, Eagle watching on the Wisconsin River in January, or any of the other number of festivities that the locals like to celebrate. It is worth coming to and checking out, as many do!

Despite the activities throughout the year, it is a quiet town (well, technically a village, with only a little over 4,300).
It's slightly slower living than the average place, --which is so nice because it is peaceful. There is virtually no crime here (minus maybe a few thefts, some DWI's, and maybe a person stealing a voter sign out of someones front yard and counted as property damage). But overall, it is a very safe place, --and great place to raise kids, and a friendly community worth being around. Read Less
