Waterford is a farm community with popular waterway
Waterford, Wisconsin, is a village and town on the rural outskirts of the Milwaukee region. The village is located along the Fox River, which past settlers would frequently ford, or cross, to go to the market. Today, the river draws kayakers and anglers and has a few restaurants and bars near its banks. The village and town are a combined community of roughly 12,000 people. The village has a historic downtown and riverside parks, while the surrounding town is farmland used for growing crops like corn and soybeans. Waterford Town Supervisor Dale Gauerke says the local waterway is one of the community’s draws. “We have the Fox River, which goes all through the community,” he says. “It’s an important recreational area, and people love to be on the water. There are lots of boaters and homeowners with water frontage. They really enjoy that lifestyle.”

Waterford offers a mix of homes near outdoor amenities
Homes in the village line both straight and winding roads. Neighborhood amenities include open spaces and a walking trail between several homes and the Fox River. One of the open spaces, Fairview Park, has benches and picnic tables around a pond. Homes and condominiums near the river also have private docks with pontoons. Houses include Colonial Revival, ranch-style and modern traditional homes. Single-family homes go from about $290,000 to $600,000, while condos mostly run between $240,000 and $450,000. “There’s a new subdivision on the east side that’s really starting to fill up fast. I imagine those will be young families,” Gauerke says. “There’s also a lot of people who have lived here for many years. They like it and don’t want to move.”

The lake’s fish include bass, trout and catfish. The lake is also near the diverse habitats of the 1,500-acre Tichigan Wildlife Area. The preserve is popular for birdwatching, and its bird population includes waterfowl, woodpeckers and bald eagles. Local cyclists may access Seven Waters Trail, a 17-mile path that reaches other regional destinations like Muskego Lake. Rivermoor Golf Club and Restaurant offers a public 18-hole course.
