Seymour has lakeside homes on Lake Altoona
Seymour sits alongside Lake Altoona in western Wisconsin, offering scenic views and a lower cost of living for the area. “There’s a lot to love about Seymour, including larger lot sizes and lower property taxes than surrounding neighborhoods,’’ says Realtor Kelly Dettinger, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Diversified for more than 10 years. “But I think what really sets Seymour apart is that buyers can create a nice balance here. They can live on a lake, or have a few acres in the country. But they’re still just a mile from Altoona and less than 5 miles from Eau Claire.”
Many of the lake homes in Seymour have boathouses and small guest homes on the water.
Small cottages in Seymour often have Tudor or Cape Cod influences.

Price variances are driven by acreage, home condition and location relative to Lake Altoona. Cottages from the 1940s have recently sold from $275,000 to about $300,000.
