Lake Hallie has new homes and convenient access to Eau Claire

The growing bedroom community of Lake Hallie, located between Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire, has become popular with those who want access to the jobs in the nearby metros without giving up the benefits of rural living. Of course, that may be short-lived, since new subdivisions are quickly taking over the landscape. "They're developing over farmland, so it has more of an open feel," says Dave Strassman, broker and owner of Riverbend Realty Group and a 15-year Chippewa Valley real estate veteran.

New builds and existing styles with breathing room

New custom and spec homes make this a popular area for second and third homeowners, according to Strassman. Existing homes include various styles, including Minimal Traditional and ranch-style properties. Newer options tend to have a ranch-style layout, some with basements. "There are three-quarter-acre lots to 1 1/2-acre lots, so everyone has their own space," Strassman says. The median price is about $350,000, slightly higher than surrounding cities.

Activities on Lake Hallie and Lake Wissota

The namesake Lake Hallie is a popular spot to catch panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike and trout. Open lots are being developed along the lake. Lake Wissota State Park is an even more popular destination about 10 miles north, with activities on land and water. Strassman says the area is full of recreation, bars and restaurants. Residents can enjoy the 7 miles of shared hiking and biking trails. The 6,300-acre lake offers boating, canoeing, kayaking and water skiing.
