Carol Beach Estates
Gorgeous lake views and tree-lined lanes make life in Carol Beach Estates feel like an escape. This south Kenosha neighborhood is bookended by nature preserves and bordered by Lake Michigan, so outdoor recreation is never more than a short, three-minute drive away.
Colonials, Tudor revivals and craftsman-style homes line the streets here, and an average listing price of $360,000 sets the neighborhood at a higher price point than surrounding Kenosha and Pleasant Prairie neighborhoods. Large, 7,000-square-foot mansions with one-acre lots and private lake access can reach prices of $1.8 million. For less than $300,000, you can get a three-bedroom ranch-style home with around 1,000 square feet. Whatever your budget, houses in Carol Beach Estates tend to fly off the market within a couple of days of being listed. The majority of homes here sit on quarter and half-acre lots, but the area’s tall trees and lush foliage allow residents to enjoy a sense of privacy from their neighbors.
Heading to the neighborhood’s north end will take you to Kenosha Sand Dunes, where you can take a two-mile hike with dune and water views. The natural area is also a popular spot for local wildlife enthusiasts, with over 75 unique species calling it home. The Chiwaukee Prairie Nature Preserve sits on the Illinois-Wisconsin border and is part of the last unbroken prairie stretch of its kind in the state. On a hot summer day, locals can head to Carol Beach, where you can enjoy a picnic on the shore or take a swim in the cool, refreshing waters of Lake Michigan. Those who live waterfront can launch small boats or cast a line from their backyards, and numerous public water access points allow other residents to launch non-motorized crafts from the shore.
Prekindergarten through fifth-grade students can attend Southport Elementary School, which earns a B-minus overall rating from Niche and has a student-to-teacher ratio of 15-1. Lincoln Middle School first opened its doors in 1929, and today’s students can participate in before and after-school extracurriculars, including clubs centered around soccer, reading and writing, and gaming. Tremper High School earns a B-minus overall rating and an A-minus sports rating, according to Niche. Tremper was recognized as a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Award of Excellence school for the 2019-2020 school year thanks to its outstanding athletics program.
While the neighborhood has a quiet and secluded atmosphere, residents still can enjoy the convenience of being just three miles from Kenosha’s amenities. You can pick up your groceries at Festival Foods or Family Dollar on 80th Street before enjoying a meal at Tipsy Bear, where you can order items like steak fries, bacon cheeseburgers and popcorn shrimp that you can savor alongside a chilled draft beer. The Village Supper Club has been family-owned and operated since it opened 100 years ago. Surf and turf, patty melts and Thai chicken adorn the menu at the Supper Club, along with nightly specials like shepherd's pie and pomegranate lamb chops. After a filling meal, return home along winding, tree-lined streets to digest and rest.

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.
