Rooted in industry, Bloomer maintains a small-town environment for all
The Chippewa County community of Bloomer was born in industry and continues to thrive because of it, with several manufacturing businesses located in the surrounding area, including Mag Stainless and Veritas Steel. This small city of 3,600 may have started with the construction of a mill in the 1840s, but it has grown into a fully realized community with a walkable downtown filled with bars and restaurants and plenty of outdoor recreational spaces. “(It’s a) very nice, little quaint town with lots to offer,” says Richelle Seibel, a Realtor with Adventure North Realty and a Bloomer resident.

Mix of housing and land for sale
The median home price is $279,000, lower than national and state medians. Homes include ranch styles, bungalows and New Traditionals. Land is available. “You get your bang for your buck as far as square footage and quality of the house, so [Bloomer has] pretty average homebuying,” says Seibel. Homes are on gridded streets, with smaller property sizes. Oak and pine trees cover the front and back yards. Some roads lack sidewalks and some homes back onto lakes and have private docks. Seibel says the industry attracts a mix of workers and families, but retirees are also drawn to the small-town atmosphere.
