You can’t beat the location of apartments for rent in Downtown Kenosha, Wisconsin. Found not only on the western bank of Lake Michigan, this tranquil city lies one hour from Milwaukee and two hours from Chicago. Find your perfect fit in studios or one-bedroom dwellings in Victorian houses or two- or three-bedroom digs in garden complexes.

Predictably, a lot of the fun stuff to do around Kenosha centers on the water. Five Kenosha beaches grace Lake Michigan's shorefront, including the beach on Simmons Island. A short drive from downtown via 50th Street, Simmons Island also contains a lighthouse, bike trails, fishing and boating, and a number of historical centers, including the thrilling Dinosaur Discovery Museum. Rather stay on the mainland? Then chow down at the Boat House Pub on 7th Avenue, with its famous appetizer platter that includes won ton mozzarella sticks, seasoned French fries, and, of course, cheese curds.
