Score Breakdown
Our Take
The 53213 area offers decent affordability with a median home price near $300k and solid median income, but it has only moderate walkability and a mixed crime environment. It’s okay for families or commuters who don’t need a bustling nightlife, but you’ll have to deal with traffic and limited transit options.
