Hammond offers land and affordability near the Twin Cities
Located 40 minutes outside of Saint Paul, residents of Hammond get to spread out on generous lots away from the buzz of city life. People here appreciate the rural lifestyle and the sense of small-town community accompanying it, but in recent years, suburban subdivisions have started cropping up left and right. “Hammond is an up-and-coming area because it’s further out from the Twin Cities, but there’s a nice balance of affordability and land,” says Dave Hackworthy, a Realtor with Creative Homes who has sold numerous homes in the Saint Croix Valley. “Plus, it’s right along the Interstate 94 corridor, so you can access the cities even though it’s more rural.”
Hammond offers residents a charming, quiet setting in its small rural community.
Half of Hammond, WI consists of farm valleys filled with agricultural life and occupations.

New builds and historic homes sit among farmland and trees
Hammond’s streets form a spread-out grid around large plots of farmland, with houses tucked behind mature oak trees with broad canopies. Turning off the quiet rural roads, you’ll find a couple of new developments where homes sit closer together, though there’s still room to spread out on generous lawns for a summer barbecue. These new builds typically have two stories and subtle flairs like exposed stone bricks or wooden beams and are priced at a median of $480,000 for four to five bedrooms. Older homes along the denser streets of central Hammond cost around $225,000, with a classic turn-of-the-century charm that makes up for the renovations they may require. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in existing homes, there are also plenty of development lots up for purchase to construct a custom home, with sizes ranging from half-acre to 16-acre parcels.

Windmill and heritage parks provide scenic spots for families
Right beside the high school is Lion’s Park, where you can cheer on the baseball games on the field or shoot some hoops at the basketball court. If you require a more scenic view, you can admire the stone- and wood-paneled Dutch windmill at Baldwin’s Windmill Park. In the summertime, you can watch the lattice blades spin and listen to the soothing trickle of Baldwin Creek while you picnic at one of the nearby tables. It’s also not far from Dutch Heritage Park, which has a colorful playground and a field with soccer nets for high-energy kids to roam and play.
There is plenty of room to play at Lions Park, where open fields and tall trees create a perfect setting for outdoor fun.

Local bars serve fried food, craft beer and weekend music
Walk down Davis Street in central Hammond for your choice between multiple local bar and grills. Cheap Andy’s Saloon is known for its greasy eats like Wisconsin cheese curds and for its TV-covered walls, so you won’t miss the Packers game no matter where you sit. You can also head down the block to Schuggy’s American Grill and Taphouse, which also serves up fried foods and craft pours to the tune of live music on most weekend nights.

Thrill seekers might take flight at Skydive Twin Cities, where you can get a bird’s-eye view of the patchwork quilt of Wisconsin farmland.
