Lakeshore Homes for Rent

Lakeshore, a residential neighborhood 6 miles north of Downtown Kenosha, is known for its quiet atmosphere and scenic views along the bluffs of Lake Michigan. The area features a mix of Cape Cods, bungalows, and ranch-style homes, with occasional custom builds and waterfront condos. The neighborhood lacks sidewalks, instead offering narrow gravel walkways. Residents enjoy local spots like Alford Park, which provides rocky beaches and views of the Kenosha wharf and lighthouse, and Sam Poerio Park, with its baseball diamonds and playgrounds. The Pike Bike Trail offers a scenic route through the area, while Seventh Place Overlook Park provides intimate lake views. Dining options include the historic HOBNOB supper club and the Waterfront Warehouse, known for its American fare. Essential shopping is available at Pick ‘n Save and Stinebrink’s Piggly Wiggly. Lakeshore is car-dependent, with bus stops primarily located near Carthage College, and bike lanes on 12th Street and the Pike Bike Trail offering alternative transportation. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, and residents can easily commute to Chicago and Milwaukee via the Kenosha-Racine-Milwaukee Commuter Rail. Annual events like the Celebrate America festival and the HarborPark Jazz, Rhythm & Blues Festival bring the community together.
