Why Live in Old Fourth Ward

Old Fourth Ward in Janesville is a historic neighborhood characterized by its diverse architectural styles, including Italianate, Queen Anne, and Foursquare homes. Over recent years, the area has seen a shift from renters to homeowners, partly due to the Janesville Home Buyer Assistance Program. While some multi-family homes remain, many have been converted into single-family residences. The neighborhood's proximity to the Rock River means that homes near the water are in a flood zone, necessitating flood insurance. Safety has improved over the past decade, thanks to the Fourth Ward Neighborhood Action Team's collaboration with local police. Monterey Park, a 42-acre space along the Rock River, features fishing spots, a paved trail for cross-country skiing, and Monterey Stadium, known for its historical significance in football. The Born Learning Trail in Fourth Ward Park offers interactive activities for children, while the nearby Rotary Botanical Gardens hosts an annual Holiday Light Show. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Janesville, including the Janesville Farmers Market and various dining options like Drafthouse and Sandwich Bar. Public transportation is convenient with numerous bus stops, and major roads like River and Court Streets facilitate easy travel. The neighborhood is also close to Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center and has good connectivity to Interstate 90. For air travel, Chicago/Rockford International Airport and Dane County Regional Airport are within a 45-mile radius.
