Door County — Wisconsin's Peninsula Property Market

Door County defies easy comparison with any other Wisconsin county. Its 482 square miles of land — surrounded by Lake Michigan on the east and Green Bay on the west — create a property market defined by scarcity and water access. The peninsula produces 95% of Wisconsin's cherry crop, and the county is home to 5 state parks, more than any other Wisconsin county. Sturgeon Bay, the county seat, earned the title "Shipbuilding Capital of the Midwest" through its historic shipyards. Despite a median home value of $305,800, Door County's effective tax rate of 0.81% — well below the state average — makes carrying costs relatively affordable for vacation home and second property buyers. In 2026, 83 residential sales were recorded with only 1.11% of homes underwater, reflecting a consistently stable market.
