Columbia Homes for Rent

Columbia, also known as Columbus Park, is an older neighborhood in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a city with a rich history in automotive manufacturing. Currently undergoing significant revitalization, the area is home to the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood (KIN), a 107-acre development aimed at creating a 24/7 live, work, and play environment. This project will feature extensive green spaces, bike trails, and between 800 to 1,300 apartment units. The nearby Uptown Lofts development will offer mixed-use spaces with rental rates based on the area's median income. Columbia's existing housing stock primarily dates back to the early 20th century, featuring Dutch colonials, national folk style, and midcentury ranch-style homes. The neighborhood is known for its modestly sized lots and tree-lined streets with over 25 types of trees, including oaks and maples. Educational options include the highly rated LakeView Technology Academy, which is relocating to KIN. Other schools in the area, such as Frank Elementary and Lincoln Middle, offer diverse learning environments. Columbia is rich in parks, with Columbus Park being a central community hub hosting the Kenosha Farmer's Market and the annual Mount Carmel Festival. The neighborhood also features a variety of dining options, particularly Italian cuisine, and is conveniently located near downtown eateries, stores, and boutiques. For groceries, Festival Foods is a short drive away. Columbia is well-connected, with state routes 31, 32, and 50 nearby, and public transportation options including Kenosha Area Transit buses and electric streetcars. The Kenosha Station, part of the Metra network, provides access to Chicago, while Milwaukee is approximately 35 miles away.
