The Village of Walworth is the slow-and-steady entry in its namesake county. Its typical home value of $407,460 (as of April 30, 2026) grew 3.1% over the past year — a measured pace — yet the five-year gain is a substantial 35.1%. Most of the appreciation here happened earlier in the cycle, and the market has since settled into a calmer rhythm.
Positionally, the village sits 14 of 21 among tracked Walworth County municipalities by typical value, about $38,609 under the county median of $446,069. That is a mid-pack rank with a below-median price.
The nearest reference point most searchers know is Lake Geneva. The city's typical value is $419,961 — meaning the Village of Walworth prices about $12,501 below it.
Walworth County's tracked markets span a wide range, and the village lands on the affordable side of center. Sugar Creek ($388,618) is below it; Lake Geneva ($419,961), Lyons ($441,906), and Richmond ($446,069) are above. The $407,460 typical value slots the village between Sugar Creek and Lake Geneva on that ladder.
Against the seven-county Southeast Wisconsin regional median of $455,834, the village runs about $48,374 lower. Combined with the 35.1% five-year gain, the picture is a market that appreciated hard with the region but never converged to regional pricing.
ZIP code 53184 tracks the village closely: its typical value of $405,289 is within about $2,200 of the villagewide number, so ZIP-level data is a reliable stand-in when researching this market.

Over the 12 months ending June 2026, 67 single-family homes sold in Walworth, Wisconsin in arms-length transactions, at a median price of $365,000. Half of those sales fell between $276,250 and $422,500.

Zillow’s typical-home-value estimate for Walworth is $407,460, while homes that actually changed hands had a median price of $365,000 — a difference of -10.4%. 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, the 3.1% one-year pace is the most practical number in this guide. It means less pressure than in markets running 8-10% annually — a typical home gained roughly $12,000 over the past year rather than $30,000-plus — and it leaves more room for inspection contingencies and negotiation. The entry price of $407,460 also undercuts both Lake Geneva and the county median.
For sellers, the 35.1% five-year figure matters more than the 3.1% one-year figure. Owners who purchased around 2021 have likely accumulated significant equity even though recent momentum is modest. Realistic pricing is the discipline here: in a 3.1%-growth market, an aspirational list price does not get bailed out by appreciation the way it might elsewhere, so accurate comps up front protect both time on market and final proceeds.
Walworth centers on Heyer Park, a village green ringed by a compact downtown of shops and local eateries, with Devils Lane Park adding ball fields and festival grounds at the edge of the village. Set near the junction of U.S. 14 and Highway 67 in the county's southwest corner, the village is about five minutes from Fontana's lakefront beach on Geneva Lake.
