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.

Why live in Racine, WI?

From the scenic marina district to the long and proud history as a 'city of industry', Racine apartments make an excellent option for anyone eager to discover all that life in Wisconsin has to offer. Flush with an abundance of historical landmarks and quaint eateries, this slice of midwestern charm is brimming with an ambiance all its own.

What Racine landmarks should I see?

Stop by architectural hot spots like the Badger Building, or the Johnson Wax Headquarters, which was designed by master Frank Lloyd Wright himself. Racine College provides plenty of classic buildings to wander, and Monument Square is an aptly named center located just a short jaunt from numerous Racine apartments. 

What is there to do around Racine?

Stroll the gorgeous walkways of the downtown marina, taking time to try your fishing luck in the mighty Lake Michigan, or spend an afternoon taking in the various works at the Racine Art Museum. If poetry is your jam be sure and check out the monthly BONK Series, with the Racine Theater Guild offering up additional weekly entertainment options for residents of Racine apartments. The Wind Point Lighthouse makes a fantastic day visit as well.

Any annual festivals or Racine events to know?

The State Cheese and Beer Festival covers the dynamic duo of Wisconsin faves, while Harvest Fest is a newer annual shindig that combines live music, tasty local cuisine and area crafts. Of course, Milwaukee also boasts a large assortment of festivals as well, with the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show a big hit with those living in apartments for rent in Racine.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Wisconsin is known as a nature lover's paradise, and camping, hiking and hunting options are in high supply. The waterfront of Racine proper makes a great jumping off point for boating or even water skiiing, and the bright lights and nightlife options of big city Chicago are an easy reach from a variety of Racine rentals. Take in some live laughs at the Comedy On State in Madison, or tour the rock clubs of Green Bay, both an short drive away and excellent weekend escape options for Racine apartment residents.

Where is the best place to move in Racine?

Regardless of whether you are in the market for a luxurious, open-floorplan 3-bedroom unit near the center of the marina district, or simply require an economic and cozy Racine efficiency complete with onsite gym and plenty of reserved parking, we are eager to help you connect with your ultiamte apartment for rent in Wisconsin. Start your hunt today, and enjoy all that life in the midwest has to offer without further delay!
