Fond du Lac Overview

Fond du Lac greets outdoor sports enthusiasts and natural beauty seekers alike as an inviting lakeside place to live and explore in America's north in east central Wisconsin. From amazing restaurants to fine arts and shopping, entertainment, and vibrant nature trails, there is always something to do in and around Fond du Lac. Vacationers and residents alike say Fond du Lac isn't just a place to live but one to experience.

What is the history of Fond du Lac?

Officially becoming a city in 1844, Fond du Lac is located on a river of the same name. At the southern end of Lake Winnebago. Its earliest inhabitants were the Ho-Chunk Nation, known more casually as the "Winnabago Indians". In 1785, it became a French trading post but later attracted many German immigrants, for whom the area resembled the abundant forest canopies and vivid green prairies of home. 

How is the weather in Fond du Lac?

Despite its frigid reputation among those who live in much warmer American climates, the weather in the city is typically mild, with pleasantly warm (never hot) summer months and four distinct and reliable seasons to spend enjoying summer sports and winter alike. Summer highs rarely exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit, while summer nights linger in an enjoyable low 60s. You can expect a roughly 3-month cold season (December 1 to March 6) when temperatures stay below freezing throughout the winter, allowing for sufficient snow and lake ice accumulation to enjoy sledding, skating, snowmobiles, ice fishing, and more. If you love winter sports, hate miserably hot summers, and don't mind layering up when it's cold, you'll fit right in Fond du Lac.

How do I get around town?

With an excellent walk score of 88 out of 100, chances are you can walk from your Fond du Lac apartments to almost anywhere around town you want to go. A network of scenic nature trails connecting areas means you don't have to stick with traditional roadways. However, the city also boasts an excellent and very cost-effective public transportation system with some of the most affordable rates in the country. The city is relatively flat, making it ideal for biking. Interstate 41 and Highway 45 run vertically to help drivers get around town, while 23 runs across.

What is the Fond du Lac commute like?

On average, those living in houses and apartments in Fond du Lac enjoy relatively short commute times of less than a 20-minute drive between home and work. That's slightly less than the state as a whole at nearly 22 minutes and much faster than most cities. As you would imagine, the commute can get a bit more complicated and longer for drivers in winter months. It's also only 55 miles from Milwaukee and less than 3 hours from Chicago.

What are the local media outlets?

TV stations in Fond du Lac include Action News 2, but the area also gets news from Milwaukee stations. If you're in the mood to listen to the radio, you might choose WFDL-FM for adult contemporary and WFON for country. Many radio stations from Milwaukee and the surrounding cities also pick up well here, like WOKY for sports. The local newspaper Action Reporter Media, also known locally as just "The Reporter," keeps residents informed about local and regional happenings.

Why live in Fond du Lac, WI?

People like that Fond du Lac feels like a dense suburb. When you include the whole of Fond Du Lac county, it has over 40,000 people. That's not a small town by most standards, but locals say it feels like a small town in some ways without sacrificing the luxuries made available by the existence of a thriving small business community. Most people own their homes here, which creates a strong sense of community and responsibility that those living in Fond du Lac Apartments get to enjoy as well. The rich natural beauty all around and a pleasantly slower pace of living compared to nearby cities while still being so close to them make Fond du Lac an ideal place to call home.

What Fond du Lac landmarks should I see?

Historic Galloway and Village is one of many Victorian-era historical buildings that offers tours and a glimpse into yesteryear. For those who appreciate the city's natural side, Heckroct Natural Reserve is a large area of the city where the original marshes, prairie, and forests have been preserved. The best part is that entry is free!

What is there to do around Fond du Lac?

Lakeside Park has stunning walking trails for you to maintain your walking routine and breathe in air purified by the rich greenery around. If you have children in your life, the Children's Museum of Fond du Lac provides rooms of art, activities and learning for children of all ages. For a more adult night out, visit the Ledgerock Distillery for craft bourbon, gin, and vodka produced on-site. Do you love classic cars? You'll want to spend some Saturdays at Jim Baldauf Collector Cars, where, by appointment only, Jim himself walks you through his collection. Ask him anything about Oldesmobiles. There is nothing this guy doesn't know! Fondy Sports Park and Thelma Sadoff Fine Arts Center offer other activities and sights to explore. 

Any annual festivals or Fond du Lac events to know?

Each August, the city celebrates the height of summer with a fishing tournament known as the Summer Event, which is fun for sportsfishers and spectators alike. Then, in September, you won't want to miss the Fondy Food Truck and Art Fair or Fondue Fest because you already knew there had to be Fondue in Fond du. Small Business Saturday is an annual event in November that allows small businesses to showcase what they offer as the town rallies around to show support. It's time to lace up for the Fondy Fest Run in June. There are also many area festivals within a short 30-minute drive that locals look forward to every year, like the Hamburger Fest in Seymour  and the Oshkosh Jazz Festival.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Lake Winnebago is the hot vacation destination for the region, with fishing, water sports, camping, and nature-watching, for those living in Fond du Lac, you're already there! In winter, Lake Winnebago freezes over solid, opening up a whole different vacationer's experience of sturgeon spear fishing or fat tire biking. But if you want to get away for a faster-paced vacation experience, Milwaukee and Chicago are both within a 3-hour drive and for more outdoor fun, Lake Michigan is a straight shot east.

Where is the best place to move in Fond du Lac?

Residents will tell you that the best place to live in Fond du Lac is generally along its edges, where the beauty of nature meets all the city has to offer. Luxury apartment communities in Fond du Lac make the most of these stunning lake views and green spaces while being situated near major roadways so that you can easily navigate into the city. However, if you want to be in the middle of it all, Downtown Fond du Lac and East Division-Sheboygan Street Historic District are great places to start looking for your new Fond du Lac apartment home.
