Our Take
Sheboygan offers a very affordable cost of living and decent schools, but the city’s walkability and public transit are virtually nonexistent. If you’re not a commuter and can drive to work, it might fit your needs. Otherwise you’ll find yourself isolated and reliant on a car for almost everything.
