New Munster Homes for Sale

Homes perched on rolling hills overlook forests and farmlands in New Munster, a small community with big ties to nature. With less than one person per acre and a CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, the neighborhood is rural, quiet, spacious and peaceful. Some residents live on operational farms with a hundred acres, while others in small subdivisions have an average of about an acre of land. "Little hobby farms and homesteading are becoming more common, especially on the medium-sized lots with a few acres," says Justin Mueller, a Realtor with Re/Max Premier Properties, who has been selling in western Kenosha County for over 20 years. "People like to grow their food and raise chickens, and they can do that here." Fewer than 200 homes make up New Munster, but slow expansion into the area's open lands over many years has left behind various architectural styles. Bungalows, workers' cottages and American Foursquares are along main streets and county roads, while new traditional, modern Craftsman, ranch-style and split-level homes from more recent years line the small developments. Homes rarely go on the market in New Munster, but the average home value is around $415,000. Values
