Finding housing that fits within your budget is no problem. Budgets can range from the Victorian, Tudors and Bungalows to inexpensive, modern apartments. No matter what your price range is, you will not have trouble finding the right home – the median home cost is $162,000 an incredible fifty-five thousand dollars less than the average cost of a home in the United States.

Downtown Living:  Downtown living exemplifies Eau Claire's desire to evolve, while continuously preserving its past.  The downtown area is a historic place in itself, filled with buildings that echo the vibrant past.  While these buildings are a great place to own a business or work within, they are also a great place to live. 

Loft developers have come into the downtown area to revamp potential housing units that sit above businesses and offices.  They have maintained the original quality and feel while making the loft a modern, green space.  The city is very encouraging towards the developers and designers of these lofts by offering financial incentives to build.  These incentives help for ordinary people with extraordinary ideas to create their own stylish, fresh area of living in these many unique spaces.
