The homes of Germantown
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for Germantown village.
More homes in Germantown were built in the 1970s than in any other decade, 19% of them, followed by the 1990s at 18%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 51 years old, unless it has been redone since.
37% of homes here were built before 1980. In a home built before 1978, a remodel that disturbs painted cabinets, trim or walls has to be done by a firm certified for lead-safe work by Wisconsin’s own program, which EPA authorized. Ask for the certificate when you book the measure.
