Sunnyside
Suburban Neighborhood in Kenosha, Wisconsin
Kenosha County 53143
Ranch-style dwellings, Cape Cods and other single-family homes
In Sunnyside, there are plenty of residential streets, with the suburban looks of closely placed single-family homes and small front yards usually open to the sidewalks. Many houses date from the 1950s to the ‘70s, with styles including ranch-style homes and Cape Cods. A home with less than 1,000 square feet might sell for about $110,000, and one with at least twice the space for up to $340,000.

Small community parks and other recreational opportunities
There is an assortment of nearby parks, including Lincoln Park, Anderson Park and Red Arrow Park. The closest to most neighborhood homes — no surprise — is Sunnyside Park, which is fairly small but includes a playground and space to play soccer or baseball.Simmons Field, on Sheridan Road, is where the Kenosha Kingfish play baseball. The historic stadium dates to 1920 and was the home of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, the Kenosha Comets, one of the teams portrayed in the movie “A League of Their Own.” Dennis DuChene, president of Visit Kenosha, the city’s official travel resource, says, “Games are hosted during the summer months, offering family friendly fun for an affordable night of baseball.” For those who want an evening bowling instead of batting, Sheridan Lanes is the place to sign up for a league or compete in a tournament.

Kenosha's annual events
There are tons of popular annual events in Kenosha. One out of many, the Civic Veterans Parade is a long-held tradition held on the Sunday before the Fourth of July. “It goes north of downtown and through the downtown area, with a portion going past the harbor. There are veterans’ groups, clowns, all types of entertainment,” Kochman says. The 2023 float best in show award went to Snap-on, a company specializing in tools and mechanical equipment and providing about 700 jobs onsite at their Kenosha headquarters. In 2021, the company threw a party for its 100th-year anniversary and groundbreaking on a 90,000-square-foot expansion. The community-friendly event included a kids’ carnival, hot air balloons and a car show.
Kenosha Area Transit and the nearby Metra station
Though Kenosha is included in the greater Chicago region, Milwaukee is closer, just 35 miles north, versus 60 miles south. Drivers take advantage of major roads like State Routes 31, 32 and 50 in nearby interstates. Kenosha Area Transit buses are one option for public transportation, and around downtown, the historic districts and Lake Michigan, electric streetcars provide a scenic trip. The streetcars stop at Kenosha Station, the only Metra station outside Illinois.Shops and eateries on Sheridan Road
There are shops and eateries nearby on Sheridan Road, though Peggy Gregorski, executive director of Kenosha Public Museums, says this area wouldn’t necessarily be considered part of Sunnyside. Tommy’s Home Run Family Restaurant serves breakfast anytime. It’s less than 2 miles to the heart of downtown, for stores and restaurants galore. “It’s a traditional downtown, with small boutique-y kinds of shops and restaurants and new development going in at 52nd and Sheridan,” Gregorski says. For groceries, residents might choose Festival Foods, a few miles south.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
