Century Complete is another company that does a good bit, Holiday Builders is a local company that also has a good product

I also like the mid-century homes south of 41st and Broadway and from there West towards Boeing.  

Vacation rentals have been around for centuries but the urban short term rental is pretty new concept.

Property values are high, but the price to rent ratio is hard to pull good numbers from unless you've gotten the grand slam deal of a century.

The popular mid century rentals out there are about 1 mil right now and book around $70-85k a year. 

Mid-century with (unpermitted) plans for master suite.

LaCrosse seems to have a slightly more diverse workforce (major employers KwikTrip corporate, Trane Systems, Century Link and Gundersen Health).  

This South Carolina city has held a thriving housing market for longer than a century and is constantly learning to combine history with modern appeal.
