Lake Michigan – This has over 1,600 miles of shoreline and around 12 million people live along these.  The cities of Milwaukee, Appleton and Green Bay are situated on this lakes shores and often the property available here is among the most expensive.  In some cases Wisconsin lake homes and cottages for sale here are sold for more than $3 million. 

Lake Winnebago – This is the largest freshwater lake in Wisconsin  and is the third largest in the US.  There are plenty of beautiful homes for sale around this lakes shorelines and the main cities are Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Neenah and Menasha.  Although the prices of properties are much lower here than Lake Michigan the prices are still reaching well over $1 million. 

Lake Pepin – Certainly if you are looking for inexpensive property then this is one of the lakes worth considering.  The lake covers only an area of 40 square miles and isn’t very deep, with the maximum depth reaching 18 feet.  Being a very quiet area some of the Wisconsin lake homes found here are being sold for as little as $80,000 however they are generally priced at around $300,000.

Lake Pentenwell - This is the second largest lake in Wisconsin and covers a total of 24,000 acres.  The shore line is dotted with small towns and villages and a good quality waterfront lake house can cost as much as $260,000.

Big Green Lake – Situated in Green Lake County, this is the deepest of all the lakes in Wisconsin where it goes down to a depth of 237 feet in some parts.  Because the fishing here is so spectacular and there are few Wisconsin lake homes located on its shores the price of property is very high, plus they are highly sought after.  The costs of Wisconsin lake homes if you are able to find one for sale here range from $700,000 to $2 million.
