North Fond du Lac is a village close to lake recreation
North Fond du Lac is a village bordering the larger city of Fond du Lac, which translates to “bottom of the lake,” a nod to the city’s location along the southern shoreline of Lake Winnebago. The nearly 140,000-acre lake provides the two neighboring communities with a scenic waterfront and activities like swimming, fishing, paddling and jet skiing. “It’s a small, tight-knit community within minutes of everything. You’re close to [Interstate] 41, so you can go up and down the valley. And it’s growing,” says Anne Lisowe, a Realtor with Preferred Properties, who graduated from high school in North Fond du Lac. “They’re a little shy in restaurants, but again, they’re so close to Fond du Lac, it doesn’t make any difference at all.”

Houses range from American Foursquare to new ranch-style homes
The village of nearly 5,000 people has homes on gridded streets with narrow walking paths. Many residents also live within a short walk of neighborhood parks with amenities like playgrounds and basketball courts. Houses include Queen Annes, American Foursquares, bungalows and gablefront homes. There are also a number of ranch-style homes, including newly built properties. “The north side of North Fond du Lac has really expanded,” Lisowe says. “They have multiple subdivisions now that are being built.” Depending on size and condition, most homes in the village go from about $130,000 to $400,000. A few homes sell as investment properties and fall below that range.
Affordable bungalows are also common in North Fond du Lac.

Outdoor amenities include Lake Winnebago, parks and golf course
In addition to boating and other outdoor activities, Lake Winnebago has attractions like the Fond du Lac lighthouse. Lakeside Park, located along the lake in neighboring Fond du Lac, hosts events like June’s Walleye Weekend. The annual celebration includes a fishing contest and a massive fish fry. “The whole park shuts down, and there are multiple bands,” Lisowe says. Village Park is North Fond du Lac’s main outdoor site. The park has a couple of baseball fields, a basketball court and a playground with a few slides and swings. Many come to North Fond du Lac Pool during the summer to swim and play in its splash pad. Oakgreen Golf Course has two public nine-hole courses and a driving range.
