What it’s like
The place. Grand View is a very small community in Bayfield County in northern Wisconsin, where nearly all homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are very cold and bring far more snow than most of the country sees, while summers are mild. The area also gets a fair amount of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with shops and manufacturing also providing jobs. Across Bayfield County, the number of jobs has grown over the past year, though unemployment has edged up a little. Most people's trips to work take a good while, so many residents plan their days around the drive.
Things to do. Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest, a protected area a longer drive away, offers a large wooded landscape for long days outdoors. Rainbow Lake Wilderness, a protected area a short drive away, is a quieter nearby option. For an evening out, the Grand Opera House, a theatre a longer drive away, is worth the trip.
