Kenosha Overview

Situated along the gorgeous banks of Lake Michigan. Kenosha is the fourth-largest city in the grand state of Wisconsin. Home to an exciting array of amenities and things to do, this enticing slice of midwestern real estate is an excellent place to connect with.

What is the history of Kenosha?

Long a settlement area for Paleo Indians, Kenosha saw log cabins and its first church built in the 1830s. By the turn of the century the city was a hub of automobile manufacturing, a trend that continued for close to a century. A melting pot of cultures immigrating to the city through the 1930s lead to an impressive diversity of crafts, cuisine and art, and a street car system helped residents of Kenosha apartments get around town with ease. Recently, the city underwent a bit of a revitalization, with old-fashioned street lights and other classic ambiance adding nostalgic flourishes to the downtown scene.

How is the weather in Kenosha?

Prone to hot summers and cold winters, those living in Kenosha rentals can anticipate plenty of swimming days and snowy afternoons alike. Autumn can see some degree of precipitation, but is also known for impressive leaf explosions and crisp, cool evenings, while spring is marked by pleasant temps and plenty of flowers.

How do I get around town?

Kenosha apartments for rent have much to offer in the way of convenient public transportation. Bus service is widespread, as are rail options, which offer transfers to Chicago and beyond and lays claim as being the only Metra station in all of Wisconsin. Additionally, a trolley car runs to the lakefront district, but is largely a recreational mode of getting around, used by tourists and the like. 

What is the Kenosha commute like?

Interstate 94 is a prime roadway in the vicinity, seeing its fair share of traffic woes on commuter days thanks to congestion. A number of state routes criss-cross the city limits though, offering easy drives across town, including 32 and 165. Many residents of Kenosha rentals tend to rely on the rail system for ease of commuting to nearby job markets.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Kenosha News' handles most of the print needs for the city, with additional arts and events listings covered by 'Happenings Magazine'. Five major radio stations can be found in the city limits, including popular options like rock on WIIL 95.1 FM and classical on WPR. Television is also in high supply, thanks to WPXE and a number of area affiliates for CBS and NBC, all of which can be found in most Kenosha apartments with ease.

Why live in Kenosha, WI?

Boasting a bevvy of hot spots such as museums, nightclubs and eateries, this one-the-move Wisconsin city is a great option for anyone eager to connect with a new home in the dynamic Mid-West. With nearby schools that consistently earn high marks, waterfront scenery that is hard to beat, and much in the realm of historic landmarks, Kenosha apartments are truly some of the best Wisconsin living has to offer.

What Kenosha landmarks should I see?

Close to two dozen sites in Kenosha are listed on the National Historic Registry, including the John McCaffary House, the Washington Park Clubhouse and the famed Justin Weed House at 3509 Washington Road. The Big Star Drive-in Restaurant is still serving up tasty cheeseburgers, and railroad enthusiasts can still spot the Union Pacific tracks from many Kenosha apartment windows.

What is there to do around Kenosha?

Tour the impressive Civil War Museum, home to over 50,000 square feet of lore, or enjoy the view from the 1866 Southport Light and Lighthouse Keeper's cottage, both an easy reach from many rentals in Kenosha. The Dinosaur Discovery Museum is a perfect spot to bring the kids on a rainy afternoon, and the shoreline of Lake Michigan is always a great place for swimming or relaxing with a good book. 

Any annual festivals or Kenosha events to know?

The Outta Sight Kite Flight takes to the skies every June, and the Fall Festival dominates the autumn months with a winning combination of live music and tasty culinary treats.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Take a road trip to the cherry blossoms and casino excitement of Traverse City, Michigan, or enjoy the comedy clubs and college scene nightlife of Madison, both great weekend getaways from a majority of Kenosha apartments for rent.

Where is the best place to move in Kenosha?

From luxurious 2-bedroom units offer views of the riverfront and plenty of private, reserved parking, to economic-yet-charming family rentals complete with onsite playground and swimming pool, Kenosha apartments are available to fit a wide assortment of lifestyles and individual needs.
