Residential Living The quality of life discovered in Portage is truly unmatched and continues to attract new residents from all stages in life—from young, first-time homebuyers and growing families to empty nesters and retirees. Outstanding schools, healthcare providers, recreational opportunities and cultural avenues are among the many distinguishing facets of life in Portage cherished by residents. This community offers an affordable and diverse range of residential options for all homebuyers. New homes situated along tree-lined streets in well-maintained subdivisions mix well with the stately historic homes nestled within the Society Hill Historic District of Portage. Throughout the community, one will notice many established homes constructed with yellow “Portage brick,” which was manufactured in the local brickyards during the 19th century. Also offered are spacious apartment developments, along with planned golf course communities just outside of town. Saddle Ridge, located on Swan Lake and the headwaters of the Fox River, is an excellent place to live and work or to enjoy retirement. Saddle Ridge is a genuine find in a naturalistic environment filled with a beautiful landscape that encompasses a golf course and community.
