Ranch-style homes and side-by-side duplexes
The neighborhood’s educational focus and large apartment market limit Gateway’s homebuying selections. Most homes in the neighborhood are concentrated east of 30th Avenue, with ranch-style homes and duplexes sitting in formation on suburban lanes. Both home types share a new traditional style, with most homes being built between the late 1960s and 1990s. There have been no sales recorded in the last year, but estimated home values average $300,000, which is significantly lower than the typical cost in the Chicago metro area.

Shagbark Recreation Area and the Kenosha County Bike Trail
Close to the center of the neighborhood, the Shagbark Recreation Area is a 48-acre park overlooking the waters of Pike Creek. The city of Kenosha started a wetland restoration project for the area in mid-2024 to improve the area’s stormwater runoff and reintroduce plants and wildlife to the area. About 1 mile north, St. Peter’s Park is a go-to choice for winter recreation thanks to a popular sledding hill. In the summertime, folks can stop by for bass and bluegill fishing on the small pond.Recreation options on the neighborhood’s east side include the Kenosha County Bike Trail, a cyclist- and pedestrian-friendly trail that runs for more than 3 miles north. Formerly a railroad track, travelers can follow the trail all the way to Racine. Matoska Park tucks a playground and a small baseball backstop between rows of homes just outside of the neighborhood, close to the area’s single-family homes.
