THE AREA: People enjoy living in Lake Mills because of the lake, the proximity to the interstate and distance from Madison and Milwaukee, and the small-town feel. People are moving out of Madison area especially to get out of Dane County and live a in smaller community away from the craziness of Madison. Lake Mills is really a beautiful community and the majority of people pick living here within Jefferson County. The lake and downtown area are a huge draw and because it is a lake community, and there are several Illinois residents that summer here.
