Situated between South Blair Street and South Butler Street just one block east of the Wisconsin State Capitol, First Settlement is a historic neighborhood that’s seen a lot of redevelopment over the last few years. The neighborhood was once a sleepy community full of long-standing buildings that have now been occupied by French-style cafes with patios and trendy cocktail bars. Renters will find historic apartment communities in charming buildings and newly constructed high-rises with upscale condos.
