Saint Joes is a peaceful pocket in a growing Wisconsin city
The fourth most populated city in Wisconsin, Kenosha is home to about 100,000 residents. More than five times that number live in Milwaukee, about 35 miles north. In a city that’s undergoing a $400-million-plus revitalization plan, residents have a lot to look forward to. St Joes is a small part of the city where St. Joseph Catholic Academy is located. It’s similar to other nearby neighborhoods in that it’s primarily residential, with streets in a grid layout.
Head downtown from St Joe's and enjoy a trolley ride.

Older homes with close-set lots and modest square footage
“There’s mainly older housing stock; many were built between 1920 and 1950,” Steve Bostrom, broker associate with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Epic Real Estate, says. A home with less than 1,000 square feet might sell for under $100,000, and one with at least twice the space for up to $350,000. Lots are situated fairly close together and not set back very far from the curb.
Saint Joes is an established neighborhood with many older homes.

St. Joseph Catholic Academy events are significant to locals
Kids may attend public schools like Roosevelt Elementary, graded B by Niche; Lincoln Middle, graded C; and Tremper High, graded B-minus. There also are private education facilities, including St. Joseph Catholic Academy, which has an A-minus grade from Niche, and serves all levels. Neighbors of the school might stroll over to swap books at the Little Free Library by the middle school entrance. Events like the winter and spring musicals, the Mardi Gras Gala, the First Responder’s Breakfast and a fundraising auction with food and entertainment are open to the community. Each year, the academy is the site of the Miss Kenosha Scholarship Competition, a local division of Miss America which provides opportunities for young women. Another private education option, Kenosha Montessori School, has a primary program for preschool and kindergarten and an elementary program for first through sixth grades.
As always, grab a book and leave a book in the library in St Joe's.

Local parks and centers uplift and support members of the community
There are lots of outdoor spaces for residents of Kenosha. A highlight is 45-acre Lincoln Park, within walking distance for many St Joes residents. According to Bostrom, it’s a popular spot for summer concerts. These events are facilitated by the Mahone Fund, which honors the legacy of Mary Lou and Arthur Freeman Mahone, locals known for social justice work. “The foundation raises funds to support education for underprivileged students,” Bostrom says. Space for baseball, soccer and disc golf brings many a sports lover to the park. Bostrom says area schools practice here, and it’s a site used for tournaments. For the older set, Kenosha Senior Center provides lunchtime meals, classes, a nutrition program and monthly dances.

Seasonal events and long-standing restaurants bring neighbors together
Plenty of shops and restaurants are found about 2 miles away in the downtown area, set alongside Lake Michigan. Close to home, Crispy’s Tavern has a true bar-on-the-corner quality. Regulars gather for pool or to get their practice in for the Kenosha Darts Classic tournament, or KDC. The tavern hosts events like a Friendsgiving Potluck, a Day of the Dead celebration and other seasonal gatherings. Recognizable by its vintage neon sign, The Spot Drive-In, in business since 1945, is the place for burgers and homemade root beer anytime from 11 a.m. until they close at 2 a.m. And even if it’s past 2 a.m., grocery shopping might be in order. Festival Foods isn’t far, and it’s open 24 hours.
