What it’s like
The place. Coon Valley is a small village in La Crosse County, with a population that is mostly made up of homeowners. Incomes here run a little above the county's, and a typical home costs more than many people expect for a village this size. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while July brings the warmest days, and rain and melting snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and wholesale also providing jobs. Across La Crosse County, the largest workplaces include Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, Trane Technologies and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Unemployment across the county is low and steady, the number of jobs has edged up, and a typical commute is a modest drive.
Things to do. Norskedalen, a botanical garden in or beside town, is the closest place to wander. A longer drive brings you to Coulee Experimental State Forest, a protected area of woods and hills, and to Great River Bluffs State Park, another protected area. Pettibone Park is a park a longer drive away, and the Root River is a river a longer drive away as well.
