5 Reasons Why Grafton, Wisconsin is the Perfect City to Purchase Your Dream Home This Spring

Located in the heart of Ozaukee County, individuals looking for new homes in Grafton, Wisconsin this spring will not be disappointed. In Grafton, small-town living meets the convenience of modern amenities, so read on as we explore five compelling reasons why this village is the ideal destination to purchase your dream home this spring with our team at Korndoerfer Homes.

Experience the musical legacy 

Step into the rich tapestry of Grafton’s history along the Ozaukee Interurban — a 30-mile paved recreational trail that is free for everyone. Once a bustling route for the Interurban Electric Railway, this trail now serves as a scenic haven for runners, walkers and cyclists alike. Along the trail, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in the region’s past, knowing that blues and jazz musicians once traveled the railroad to use Grafton’s Paramount Records recording studio. Today, this musical legacy is remembered in Downtown Grafton, where Paramount Plaza’s Walk of Fame — resembling a piano keyboard — pays homage to these musical pioneers.

Serene natural beauty 

Grafton boasts stunning natural landscapes that will leave you in awe, and the spring season is when the city’s 120 acres of open community space truly blossoms. Residents can visit 17 different parks around Grafton, including Lime Kiln, Centennial Meadowbrooks and Veterans Memorial. At Lime Kiln, you can enjoy the 9-hole Frisbee golf course, the sand volleyball courts, go fishing or check out the archery range. Grafton also features Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve, one of the last stretches of undeveloped bluff land along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The preserve offers hiking trails, boardwalks through the wetlands and scenic views of the shoreline. The beautiful weather is also perfect for residents to go on adventures along the Milwaukee River—whether it be kayaking, canoeing, fishing or even educational experiences geared toward conservation. 

A golfer’s paradise 

Golf lovers can rejoice, as Grafton boasts two incredible golf courses for them to take full advantage of. The Edgewater Golf Club boasts absolute charm and offers golfers an impressive 9-hole USGA regulation course to perfect their swing and enjoy a challenging round amidst stunning scenery. The experience doesn’t end on the fairway, however, as Fridays are elevated to a whole new level with their Friday Fish Fry. Meanwhile, Fire Ridge Golf Club is another spot you won’t want to miss, as it won the Midwest Golf Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award in 2022 and has been a qualifier course for PGA Tour events. 

Exemplary schools 

For homeowners in Grafton with school-aged children, the educational opportunities in the city are exceptional. In Grafton, our Stonewall Farms community is located in the award-winning Cedarburg School District, ensuring that residents have access to quality education for their children. With a focus on academic excellence, innovative teaching methods and a supportive learning environment, Cedarburg schools consistently rank among the best in the state.
