Eagle remains rural as surrounding townships grow
When settlers first came to Eagle in 1836, they looked to the sky and saw a giant bald eagle hovering around the hills and valleys, and the name Eagle was born. The township, often called Town of Eagle or just Eagle, remains rural and, according to Danielle Valderrama, Realtor with Realty Executives – Integrity, "The main draw for homebuyers is more land and being a bit away from the city, but still close enough for everyday access." When subdivisions began to fill the undeveloped land in nearby Genesee, Ottawa and Mukwonago townships, Eagle remained mostly unaffected. Only a few neighborhoods and less than 200 homes are between the area's miles of rolling farms, state forests and prairies.
The homes in downtown Eagle Township are built closer together than homes on the outskirts of town.
Eagle Township is a tight-knit community 45 minutes west of Milwaukee.

House prices, homeownership and demand are high
Housing demand is high in Eagle, and homes usually sell after only three weeks from listing. As a result of growing demand but a lack of available houses, plots of land are sold to build on, ranging between $100,000 and $210,000 for about 3 acres. "From a new construction standpoint, you get a decent amount of land in Eagle and can build a big enough house," Valderrama says. "Most lots also allow an outbuilding on them for people who want a shop or a place to store their boats and lawn equipment. As you get closer to the city, more restrictions limit one building per lot." Most existing homes are from after 1990, with a few older homes from the mid-1900s standing out along county roads and side streets. The older, ranch-style and Colonial Revival homes sell between $325,000 and $600,000. New traditional and Modern Craftsman homes built or renovated in the past 20 years are the most expensive, selling between $475,000 and $1.8 million. The median price in Eagle is $610,000, and the homeownership rate is 93% – two high numbers compared to the rest of the country.
