Homes with spacious lawns in Parkside

“Kenosha’s northwest neighborhoods are nice and well-kept,” says Sheila Heg, a managing broker with Lake to Lake Realty. “You’ll see a wide range of home sizes and prices, making it a great place to house hunt, whether you’re looking for a smaller starter home or a five-bedroom luxury build.” The mix of established ranch homes, minimal traditional, colonials and new construction comes equipped with tidy, spacious lawns, spanning anywhere from a quarter- to a half-acre. Prices range from $300,000 to $800,000. One-to-three-bedroom condos are also available here, selling for $105,000 to $290,000. Small ponds dot the neighborhood’s northern end, so a few properties offer waterfront views. “It’s a lot like the village of Somers; when something goes on the market, it’s gone quick,” says Stephanie Kaiser, a real estate agent with Big Block Midwest. “The other nice thing about this area is, while you have homeowners’ associations, they aren’t restrictive. You can have pools and outbuildings. You have the ability to do what you want with your property.”

Skiing, hiking and golfing at Petrifying Springs Park

One of the most popular spots for outdoor recreation, and the oldest in the city’s park system, sits just north of Parkside via Wood Road. Petrifying Springs Park, known by locals as “PETS,” spans 350 acres that are jam-packed with things to do. “People from all over go there for hiking and cross-country skiing trails, the golf course, and a dog park, too,” says Laura Woltersdorf, a Realtor with RE/MAX Advantage Realty. The park edges the western end of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s small campus, which is lined with shaded sidewalks and has open grassy spaces used for picnics. The Northside Neighborhood Library sits just east of the neighborhood’s residential streets. Locals can browse for the latest page-turner or attend one of the community events, like afternoon movie screenings, craft workshops or book club meetings. Traveling 2.5 miles to Alford Park provides access to Lake Michigan. The green space is split into three sections which feature small beaches, biking trails and a playground.
Petrifying Springs Park is a beautiful and safe place to go on a bike ride.
