A wide range of homes from starter condos to estates
Waukesha Village has grown steadily over the years, which means you'll find a lot of variety from one neighborhood to the next. Midcentury and contemporary colonials, split-levels and ranch-style homes are among the most common styles in the area, generally selling between about $300,000 and the mid-$600,000s. Newer developments have added a mix of modern farmhouses and executive homes with larger floor plans. These homes typically range from the high $600,000s to about $1.2 million. The area also has plenty of condos priced from the low $100,000s to about $800,000 depending on size and amenities. The average home value in Waukesha Village is in the low $600,000s, making it generally more expensive than Waukesha, New Berlin and Brookfield, but less expensive than Pewaukee and Genesee.

Outdoor activities range from local trails to nearby lakes
Spanning over 250 acres of woodlands and wetlands, Fox River Park features miles of paved trails for walking and biking. In winter, visitors use the paths for snowshoeing. For longer outings, the Glacial Drumlin State Trail has a trailhead nearby. This roughly 50-mile paved rail trail connects to Cottage Grove through forested corridors and overlaps with the 1,200-mile Ice Age Trail. Over the weekends, residents often head into the Lake Country for sailing or swimming. “I know several people that have boats in their garage and they just come out and launch at Okauchee or Pewaukee,” says Jennifer Stoehr, a Realtor with the JJ Hausmann Team at Compass. “They’re larger lakes, and it’s easier to launch.” Pewaukee Lake is the closer of the two, roughly 10 miles away.
