Saint Joseph offers a mix of history, nature & modern-day conveniences

Founded in the 1800s by French fur traders, the Saint Joseph community of Houlton, Wisconsin, quickly became a popular, thriving destination for settlers along the St. Croix River. The area's historic past is still evident in its many well-preserved buildings and homes, many of which date back to the 19th century. "There’s a fair number of lots for sale, and that’s appealing for those looking to customize their living space,” says Sarah Jones, a Realtor who sells houses in the area. "The neighborhood has much to offer, including excellent schools, beautiful parks and a convenient location." The Wisconsin Public Transit System serves the area, and Hudson Hospital and Clinic is about 10 miles away, right off Interstate 95.
