Racine Overview

Located on the banks of the scenic Lake Michigan and just a short drive from the excitement of Milwaukee, Racine is a charming city wrapped in the natural splendor of the great state of Wisconsin. An industry-heavy blue collar destination, Racine effortlessly combines winning amenities with an intangible welcoming spirit, yielding an excellent mid-western spot to live, work and play.

What is the history of Racine?

Founded in the 1800s, the city boasted its first college by 1852, and Racine quickly established itself as a center for both transport...thanks to its proximity to the nearby lake...as well as manufacturing. Automobiles, cleaning products and even the first garbage disposal were all crafted in the city, and current day Racine remains a hub of factory work.

How is the weather in Racine?

Those living in Racine apartments can expect lengthy, often cold winters and pleasant, sun-filled summers. Autumn is typically highlighted by crisp evening temperatures and plenty of leaf color, while spring often brings with it precipitation.

How do I get around town?

The Belle Urban System offers bus service in and around the city, with both Amtrak and the Metra Line providing rail service, including direct lines into Chicago. Batten International Airport is close by but largely designated for freight, while Chicago's O'Hare Airport offers the nearest commercial flights. Most residents of Racine rentals tend to rely on a personal auto for daily transportation needs.

What is the Racine commute like?

Route 32 runs north-south through the center of the city, with Route 20 covering most of the east-west end. Traffic tends to flow with ease on most days, and those commuting to the larger job market of Milwaukee should encounter similar conditions on most days. 

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Journal Times' covers much of the print news in the city on a daily basis, with the 'Milwaukee Journal' a close second in popularity. WMLW-TV is the independent channel in the city, and radio runs the gamut from indie rock to R&B, political talk to classical. WRJN is a prominent local station in the city.
