Quiet, walkable Kenosha suburb
Anchored by its namesake park and elementary school, Forest Park is a cozy, walkable enclave within 3 miles of downtown Kenosha and the shores of Lake Michigan. The neighborhood blends proximity and privacy with residential streets that feel serenely secluded. “This is a beautiful area, and the people are really friendly,” says Keegan Ronan, who works at The Daily Dose Café in Forest Park. “Ever since I started working here, I’ve fallen more and more in love with the neighborhood. It has a close-knit atmosphere that you just don’t see in downtown areas.”
Forest Park offers a wide variety of home styles and is located 3 miles from Lake Michigan.
Most homes sit close together on manicured lawns with colorful gardens.

Established 20th-century homes on sidewalk-lined streets
Neighbors wave hello as they pass by on walks or bike rides along paved sidewalks shaded by mature trees. The streets are lined with colonials, split levels, ranch homes and Tudor-inspired cottages. “The charm of the homes is a big draw because many are smaller than other neighborhoods in Kenosha,” says Cara Jahnke, a broker with Compass Realty. “My sister moved into the neighborhood recently to downsize, and they found a house to fix up. It’s pretty common to see homes with additions. They’ve been built up and out.” Most homes sit close together on quarter-to-third-acre lots with manicured lawns and colorful front gardens. Prices here range from $130,000 to $399,000.
Forest Park includes Ranch style homes.

Get fresh air at Forest Park
Kids can walk to practices or recreational games held on one of Forest Park's three baseball fields. The roughly 7-acre green space gives locals space to get fresh air or take their kids to burn some energy on the playground. When summer rolls around, many make the 3-mile drive east to Eichelman Park’s beach along Lake Michigan to soak up some sun or go for a swim. The expansive waterway provides a scenic backdrop for walking trails, a playground and picnic tables.

Friends meet for breakfast at The Daily Dose Cafe
Forest Park’s central location near State Routes 31, 50 and 158 puts retail and restaurants within reach. The Daily Dose Café is a local favorite for breakfast, lunch or a quick coffee on the go. Everything from French toast paninis to tofu tacos is on the menu. Those with a sweet tooth head across the street to Paielli’s Bakery, which has been family-owned and operated for more than 100 years. “I head to Paielli’s each morning to pick up our bread, and I just love the warm atmosphere and the smell of the bread baking,” says Ronan. There’s a Piggly Wiggly less than a mile away for grocery runs. Heading just 2 miles west along State Route 50, known locally as 75th Street, leads to familiar big box stores like Kohl’s and Michaels.
