Village History and Local Landmarks
According to the village's history page, Nashotah incorporated on September 11, 1957. Before incorporation, it was part of the Town of Delafield.
The local railway station on Rasmus Road was originally called Pine Lake Station and became Nashotah Station in 1875. The Red Circle Inn is another landmark identified in the village's history.
Lakes and Nearby Areas
The Encyclopedia of Milwaukee notes that Nashotah borders Nagawicka Lake and Forest Lake. The nearby Nashotah Lakes gave the village its name, but the lakes themselves lie outside the village limits.
A Nashotah mailing address is not, by itself, proof that a property is within the village. When considering a home, check the parcel's municipality and whether any advertised lake access is deeded, shared or public.
Schools
The village identifies Lake Country School for Pre-K through eighth grade and Arrowhead High School for grades nine through twelve. St. Joan of Arc offers a private-school option in the village.
Confirm attendance boundaries and enrollment requirements with the school district for a specific property. Current school report cards are available from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Buying or Selling a Home in Nashotah
Compare recent sales within the same municipality and property type rather than treating nearby Delafield sales as interchangeable. Lot size, condition, lake frontage and access rights can affect a property's pricing.
Michael can help review comparable sales and the details of a specific home. Contact Michael to discuss a Nashotah property or request a home valuation.
Property Taxes and Village Services
For a particular home, review the latest property-tax bill, assessed value, school district and any special charges. A nearby municipality's tax rate should not be used as a substitute for the property's own bill.
The village reports that Lake Country Fire & Rescue provides fire, rescue and paramedic ambulance service. Use the Village of Nashotah website for current municipal information.
