Sister Bay Homes and Condominiums for SaleWHY LIVE IN SISTER BAY, WISCONSIN? It's a simple question with  a long answer:  why live in Sister Bay, Wisconsin? It began several years ago where these things tend  to begin, with the Village government.  Sister Bay had a long-term plan to buy as much waterfront as it could, opening up the Bay to the general public. Sister Bay made improvements to its public marina, considered the finest in northern Door County.  Sister Bay doubled the size of its public beach.  But it wasn't all glory and glamour.  Sister Bay had to spend a LOT of time and money on its infrastructure.  Sister Bay revitalized and revamped its public sewer and water system (the only municipality to have both sewer and water north of the City of Sturgeon Bay), as well as revampi...

For the past few years, it seems our country has been obsessed with what is called "Mid-Modern" or "Mid-century modern" design.  For the sake of simplicity, let's call it Mid-Modern for this post---a style that seemingly sweeps all generations, from Millenials to the baby-boomers that grew up with the REAL mid-modern design.   Mid-modern design can be difficult to describe.  It broadly describes architecture and design from the mid-20th...

Sister Bay Condominiums for Sale under $150,000 There are still opportunities to buy into Door County (especially popular Sister Bay) for a reasonable price.  Sister Bay offers several condominium opportunities that are affordable, with great locations and with the ability to walk downtown.  Some have amenities, like pools or tennis, some do not (to keep dues down).   These condominium opportunities include Skogland Condominiums (pronounced "Skoog-land" by the locals (who are greatly Swedish and Norwegian), which is near a dog park and ice skating rink, with a seasonal in-ground, heated pool.  I had a great sale there last year with some clients from Southeastern Wisconsin that were (and remain) simply thrilled with their purchase.  Also popular is Stony Ridge Condominium, a newer devel...

3 Bedroom Condominium for Sale in Sister Bay: Full Basement, too It's a rarity for northern Door County homes and condominiums:  the full basement.  You see, the soil and bedrock combination we have here that makes us one of the world's leading county's for cherry production (those cherry trees are one of the wonders of Door County) means that you have a lot of rock, which means blasting for basement, which means a lot of extra money.  The four foot crawlspace is the most common foundation structure that we see here. So our buyers are usually thrilled to find a home or condominium with a full basement, and we are delighted to represent such a home at Hidden Maples Condominiums, a short walk from both downtown Sister Bay AND uptown Sister Bay with all its wonderful features:  beach, amph...

Voted Best of Door County: Eat, Play and LIVE in Sister Bay, WI 54234 I've been representing Door County properties since 2004, and I've covered a lot of ground in that time.  I've represented Door County properties from Nasawaupee to Northport...from Gardner to Gills Rock...from Ephraim to Ellison Bay. However, over the past year I've noticed that a LOT of my posts in the past year have been about Sister Bay, Wisconsin.  I've written about where to go, what to do, what to see and especially where to buy homes in Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Sister Bay has had a lot of changes in the past several years.  We even underwent a difficult Department of Transportation project over the course of three years when it was almost impossible to get downtown. What a difference a few years can make. In Jun...
