Traditional ramblers, modern Craftsman and Twin Homes
The real estate market in Kinnickinnic is desirable for its larger lot sizes and proximity to neighboring metropolitan areas like River Falls and the Twin Cities. “Houses do not come up for sale very often in Kinnickinnic,” says Wiegele, who has been selling in the area for over a decade. “It’s a neighborhood where people want to live, and they stay once they buy.” With an average sales price of $400,000, Kinnickinnic's home prices are on par with those for sale in the metropolitan area.

Price points for single-family options can range from the low $300,000s to upwards of $800,000 depending on acreage and location, with properties featuring direct riverfront views reaching the highest prices. Multi-family options can start in the high $100,000s and reach into the mid $500,000s. Prospective buyers can opt to live on private lots amidst the rural landscapes or choose a home within the densely populated subdivisions closer to River Falls.Riverside views of the Kinni at Glen Park
Outdoor recreational opportunities are abundant in this western Wisconsin suburb. “Kinnickinnic has a know-your-neighbor feel, and people here tend to be more outdoorsy,” says Konnor Garrido, Realtor with Edina Realty. Forty-acre Glen Park is a local favorite, with a playground, community swimming pool, pickleball courts, splash pad, hiking trails and picnic tables. Located on the banks of Lake Louise, Glen Park is the oldest city park in River Falls. Hikers take advantage of the miles of forested hiking paths along the Kinnickinnic River Trail, while anglers enjoy trout fishing on “the Kinni,” as they call it. Hoffman Park offers a playground, baseball diamond and a 9-hole disc golf course in the northeastern quadrant of the neighborhood. Golfers practice their swing on the 18-hole course at the private River Falls Golf Club, which offers seasonal membership options and an on-site restaurant with classic American fare.
