The cultural epicenter of Racine is the downtown area near the waterfront, home to the Old Main Street Historic District and the famous Racine Art Museum as well as a wide selection of locally-owned shopping, dining, and nightlife options. The city is an architectural goldmine, with many buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright scattered around the area.
Racine’s position on Lake Michigan opens up many avenues for recreation—boating and fishing are very popular, as is lounging on the beach during the summertime. The University of Wisconsin operates a branch campus just south of the city limits. Downtown Milwaukee is only 45 minutes away by car, and rail service makes it even easier to reach from your Racine apartment.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
