A cozy north Kenosha suburb
Along the western banks of the Pike River, just steps from the beaches of Lake Michigan, is the small neighborhood of Villa Capri. Located just west of Carthage College, Villa Capri is a walkable, north Kenosha community where residents have easy access to both downtown Kenosha and lakefront parks. “When locals are distinguishing between neighborhoods in Kenosha, they refer to the north and south sides of the city, says Melissa Roach-Zievers, a local real estate agent with RE/MAX. “Villa Capri is a north side neighborhood and is home to established, well-built houses and it’s super walkable. Folks are always within walking distance from a park, and Lake Michigan is right there.”
Mid-1900s abodes
Single-story bungalows and ranch-style homes make up the market here and most were built throughout the 1950s and ‘60s. Most homes sit close together on a quarter-acre or less with a small selection of multi-story homes on Sheridan Road featuring half and full-acre yards. The median listing price here is $230,000, with higher price tags meaning more square footage. With a budget of $300,000, homebuyers will find two-unit homes with upward of 2,000 square feet, five bedrooms and half-acre lots. Two-bedroom, 1,000-square-foot fixer-uppers can be snagged for less than $190,000, and the occasional empty lot goes for $50,000.
Many homes in Villa Capri have large front and backyards.
