City - Wausau

Nestled along the Wisconsin River, Wausau combines small-city charm with abundant outdoor recreation opportunities. The heart of downtown centers around the 400 Block, a community gathering space that hosts festivals and events throughout the summer. The city's rental market remains affordable, with average one-bedroom apartments renting for $941, showing a modest 2.4% increase over the past year. Two-bedroom units average $1,249, while three-bedroom homes command around $1,874.

Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Granite Peak Ski Area, which features Wisconsin's highest vertical drop at 700 feet. The city maintains 37 parks across 337 acres, while downtown's Whitewater Park draws kayakers to its Class I-II+ rapids. Cultural attractions include the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, home to the internationally acclaimed "Birds in Art" exhibition, and the restored Grand Theater, a performing arts venue dating to 1927.

2/9/21
not recommended

there are a few reasons actually. here are a few of them to deter you from renting from the current whispering pines management. 30 yr old water heaters. no doorbells. no playground. no garbage disposal.

6/2/20
Highly recommend!

I just moved out, had no issues the entire time I lived here. Great staff and management. If I ever move back to the area I'd apply again!

11/16/19
Excellent management

The property manager is so incredibly helpful with not only the application process but every step there after. The property is beautiful and so welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place to call home.

9/22/18
Townhome

I did not rent a townhome, but I had an appointment scheduled for showing at 10:30 AM. I am very disappointed at the apartment manager on site/ the management. When I arrived, she told me that the hometown is no longer available, and someone was in the process of filling the application. I traveled from Stevens Point, and she couldn’t even called ahead to inform me. In addition, no appointments can be made after Friday evening through the weekend, because she has to take care of her mother. That is reasonable, however, management/company owner should really consider having another on site manager. We should not have to fit our schedule into someone else’s schedule.

10/13/15
Best for the price.

These apartments are great for the price. 2 Bedroom just 660 a month. The Appliances are up to date and well maintained while the heating and cooling work good. All around the price can't be beat in the Wausau area.

8/17/14
One bedroom unit is ok

So negatives first: Said they were going to replace broken blinds, 16 days later and nothing has been done. There was pet hair everywhere when I moved in. The flooring and carpet are old. There are stains on walls and ceilings that simply painting would have fixed. The heat vent in the bathroom is all covered in rust (could also have been painted). There is no patio door, only a few windows. The driveway into the parking area is extremely steep and if not moving extremely slow the bottom of my car scrapes the pavement. No utilities are included except for trash. Only one lock on the door. Positives: The neighborhood is nice and peaceful, seems safe, and the neighbors are nice. The ceiling is vaulted. There is a lot of cupboard space and the cupboards look new. Garage, washer/dryer, dishwasher and A/C are included. The carpet isn't bad, just older. There is a lot of cabinet space in the bathroom. Management is just a call away as the assistant manager lives on-site. Overall, for the price you think you could expect a little more. At least a patio door and a small deck/porch would be nice. It looks a little like a studio apartment when you walk in but then you realize there is more space than it first appears. The vaulted ceiling also gives it a nice look.

10/26/13
Perfect if you want to be close to Stettin School

The apartments are clean and I like how close it is to Stettin School. My kids have a lot of friends around the neighborhood and I feel comfortable with them biking around the neighborhood alone. The only complaint I have are the kids playing in the streets all the time - it makes driving to the apartment difficult.

2/11/13
Great apartment and amazing staff

Whispering Pines is a amazing apartment complex. The staff is very patience and understanding to my needs. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. So much space!! Overall a 5 out of 5.
