There are several historic areas in Madison.  One of the most delightful of these is the Vilas neighborhood.

Sprinkled with Queens Anne’s, Bungalows and four-square homes, this neighborhood is anything but cookie-cutter.  Add in the walkability (Can you say Monroe St.?) and the gem that is Vilas Park and Zoo, and it’s like walking through “Mayberry”!  The charm envelops you.  If you have some time, wander around the Vilas area.  It’s worth the time!
