Oostburg is a close-knit village set on Interstate 43
First settled by Dutch immigrants in the 1840s, Oostburg has developed into a close-knit community with highly ranked schools and well-maintained Victorian-era homes. “You get to know your neighbors and your neighbors get to know you,” says Zach Cotter, a lifelong resident of Sheboygan County and a Realtor at Olive Branch Realty. “You meet people at the grocery store or the hardware store because there’s only one of them. It’s that classic small-town feel that’s going away in a lot of places.” The village has grown in recent years, partially thanks to manufacturing facilities and other employment centers on the east side, as well as its commuter-friendly location on Interstate 43.
Center Avenue hosts shops and restaurants in a compact stretch.
Oostburg blends historic character with friendly, small‑town traditions along Lake Michigan.

A mix of Victorian, midcentury and new builds
Victorian-era homes, including Craftsman properties and American Foursquares, are found in the village’s center, surrounded by ranch-style homes from the latter half of the 20th century. A few 21st-century subdivisions have been added around the community’s edges, filled with new traditional homes. Prices range from $150,000 to $600,000. Two-bedroom condos in low-rise or single-story developments generally sell for between $100,000 and $350,000. Residential areas tend to be very neighborly, with some still adhering to small-town norms. “There’s a lot of older customs that you don’t find elsewhere,” Cotter says. “For some people, it's frowned upon to cut your grass on a Sunday. It’s not everyone, but there’s a contingent.” Though uncommon, some large estates are set on the banks of Lake Michigan, usually with over an acre of land. Prices for these luxury properties typically range from $1.6 million to $1.9 million. Empty lots are available for new construction, ranging from $75,000 to $160,000 for 3 to 6 acres.
