If you want to know what the typical southeastern Wisconsin home costs, Bristol is the answer. Its typical home value of $455,834 as of April 30, 2026 matches the seven-county regional median to the dollar. Within Kenosha County, Bristol ranks 5 of 11 municipalities and prices about $5,600 above the county median of $450,257.
Being the regional benchmark has not meant standing still. Bristol values rose 5.5% in the past year and 33.1% over five years — a five-year pace that outran much of the region while the village stayed pinned to its middle.
ZIP 53104 gives a second reference point: a typical value of $446,009, about $9,800 under the village-wide figure.
Bristol's $455,834 typical value defines the middle of the seven-county region and edges the Kenosha County median by about $5,600. Rank 5 of 11 in the county places it just above the county's midpoint as well. Few markets sit this precisely at the center of both their county and their region.
The growth profile is stronger than the mid-pack position suggests: 33.1% over five years, 5.5% in the last twelve months. The immediate peer group spans from Twin Lakes (village) at $408,283 up through Wheatland (town) at $450,257, Pleasant Prairie (village) at $468,325, and Randall (town) at $480,065 — Bristol sits squarely inside that range.
ZIP 53104's $446,009 typical value trails the village-wide number by about $9,800. When valuing a specific Bristol property, that spread is large enough that the choice of benchmark shifts a list price by roughly 2%.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 54 single-family homes sold in Bristol, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $452,500. Half of those sales fell between $338,250 and $528,000.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Bristol is $455,834, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $452,500 — a difference of -0.7%. These measure different things, and neither is wrong: the index estimates the value of every home whether or not it sold, while the sale figure reflects only the homes that changed hands, which usually skew toward the more affordable end of the market.
For buyers: Bristol prices at exactly the regional median, which makes it a clean reference market — you are paying neither a county premium like Pleasant Prairie ($468,325) nor getting a discount like Twin Lakes ($408,283). The 33.1% five-year growth shows the middle of this region has not been static. ZIP 53104's $446,009 figure suggests entry points below the headline value exist. Past growth does not guarantee future results.
For sellers: a 5.5% one-year gain and a five-year run of 33.1% mean most Bristol owners hold significant appreciation. The pricing call is between the $455,834 village figure and the $446,009 ZIP 53104 figure — nearly a $10,000 spread. Buyers cross-shopping Wheatland at $450,257 and Pleasant Prairie at $468,325 will bracket your listing either way, so the comparative data should be in the listing strategy from day one. I prepare that analysis for every Bristol property I list.
Bristol mixes working farmland with subdivisions along the I-94 corridor on its eastern edge, keeping drives short to Kenosha, the Illinois line, and the western lakes. Hansen Park hosts much of the village's outdoor calendar, while the oak woods and trails of Bristol Woods County Park surround the Pringle Nature Center.
