Southside Eau Claire homes offer proximity to work and the emerging arts district
Southside Eau Claire neighborhoods deliver views of the Chippewa River, quick access to employers and single-family homes priced on par with the rest of the region and below national norms. Clairemont Avenue Medical-Educational District (Clairemont Avenue District) fits that description and is less than 3 miles from Eau Claire’s dining and arts district.
Homebuyers will find about 120 mid-size homes built from the 1970s to the 2020s. Putnam Elementary School, Chippewa Valley Technical College and several University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire buildings anchor this 6-square-mile neighborhood, which is also a thriving hub of medical centers.
“This part of southside Eau Claire, just west of Putnam Heights has a large number of medical buildings, clinics and of course the Mayo Clinic’s Clairemont Avenue Campus,” says Ned Donnellan, a Realtor and the owner of Donnellan Real Estate. “It’s also home to Marshfield Medical Center. Medical and university professionals love this neighborhood because they’re close to work, have a very short commute and live less than 3 miles from downtown Eau Claire.”

High-quality original construction minimizes renovation costs
While the median single-family home price in Clairemont Avenue District is $397,450, buyers can find prices from $190,000 to $400,000 for one-story attached condominiums. Recently built one- and two-story New Traditional homes have sold from $415,000 to $950,000. “There are about three small subdivisions or linked cul-de-sacs in this neighborhood,” says Donnellan. “Original homes are very well-built. Buyers rarely find the need to knock down and rebuild here. The earliest homes are of high quality, which minimizes the costs of renovations that buyers might want to do. That’s a huge incentive.”
Streetscapes in Clairemont Avenue District subdivisions feature sloped curbs and wide streets but few paved sidewalks, so runners, walkers and cyclists have to watch out for traffic when not on dedicated routes. Bollinger Fields is in the heart of the neighborhood, which provides a lively backdrop with the sounds of soccer and baseball games and cheering fans.

The Chippewa River and city parks welcome neighborhood residents
Outdoor events, from festivals and concerts to riverfront celebrations, are an Eau Claire staple. Nearby Carson Park, just north of the Chippewa River, focuses on fishing, biking and kayaking. In the summer, a favorite pastime is to grab inner tubes or rafts and float down the river. Local paddlesport stores share maps and tips.
Bollinger Fields welcomes neighbors and University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students to enjoy its sports fields and green spaces. While Putnam Park is a 2-mile drive east of the Clairemont Avenue District, it’s less than a half-mile walk from Lincoln Avenue. The park follows the Chippewa River to the west and Minnie Creek to the east and is notable as a forested plant and animal habitat. Visitors can explore gravel trails, old brick pedestrian bridges and forested hills.
