Northwest Wisconsin city at the confluence of the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers — historically a lumber-and-sawmill town, now a college town (UW-Eau Claire) with a deep indie-music scene (Justin Vernon / Bon Iver is from here; The Pines / Eau Claire is the regional anchor). Downtown Eau Claire and the Phoenix Park district are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Wisconsin has state income tax (3.5-7.65%). The structural draws are college-town music density and meaningfully cheap pricing.
