Nashotah is small, under 1,400 people, and takes its name and its character from Nashotah House. The Episcopal seminary was founded here in 1842, making it older than most of the towns around it, and the chapel and grounds are still the village landmark.
Nashotah Park is the other draw, 440 acres of woods, prairie, and two kettle lakes left behind by the glacier. The trails are among the best in Waukesha County, and in winter they are groomed for cross-country skiing. Locals treat the park as an extension of the yard, which is a large part of why anyone moves to a village this size in the first place.
Upper and Lower Nashotah Lake give the village its water without the traffic of the bigger Lake Country lakes. It is quieter here than in Delafield or Hartland, which is exactly why people choose it.
Nashotah clients tend to want the same thing from us that they want from their village: no rush, no crowd, and someone who actually remembers them. That is the whole model.
Nashotah House still operates as a working seminary, which means the village has a steady population of students and faculty alongside the families who live here. It gives a village of this size a slightly unusual character, quiet but not sleepy, and more connected to the wider world than the population would suggest.
