Westport WI Homes for Sale

A Township Built on Land and Water

Westport is a township of roughly 4,500 residents located just four miles northwest of Madison. It covers about 36 square miles and includes portions of Waunakee, Madison, Maple Bluff, the northern shoreline of Lake Mendota, stretches of the Yahara River, and a small section of northeast Middleton. Housing in Westport ranges from established pocket neighborhoods to modern developments and lakefront estates. Buyers will find everything from the gated golf course communities of Bishops Bay and Bishops Woods to the shoreline homes along Borchers Beach and Morris Park. Additional residential areas include Fox Bluff with its wooded privacy, the riverfront setting of Blue Bill Park, and the stately homes of Carriage Ridge. Westport’s mix of open space, lake access, and varied neighborhoods creates a broad selection of homes across multiple price ranges

Westport at a Glance

Westport is a large township organized around Lake Mendota, open land, and a set of distinct neighborhoods that rarely feel like one single place. Housing ranges from gated golf course communities to wooded enclaves, shoreline homes, and traditional single family streets tucked into the interior of the township. Buyers will find options in a wide range of price points, from established neighborhoods to newer construction on larger lots. Residents have quick access to Waunakee, Middleton, Maple Bluff, and Madison for work, schools, and services, while still feeling slightly removed from the city grid. The combination of lake frontage, open space, and varied housing makes Westport one of the most flexible places to live in the Madison metro for many different kinds of buyers.

Schools and Local Convenience

Most Westport residents are served by the Waunakee Community School District, which includes Arboretum, Heritage, and Prairie Elementary Schools, Waunakee Intermediate School, Waunakee Community Middle School, and Waunakee Community High School. Portions of southern and western Westport fall within the Middleton‑Cross Plains Area School District, including Sauk Trail, Sunset Ridge, and Pope Farm Elementary Schools, as well as Kromrey and Glacier Creek Middle Schools and Middleton High School. Daily needs are met by local convenience shops, gas stations, Summit Credit Union, and Skipper Bud’s marina near the northern tip of Lake Mendota. Dining options include the long‑established Mariners Inn and the popular Nau‑Ti‑Gal restaurant.
