Affordable homes near Racine's industrial sector
Neighboring the industrial area holding the Modine Manufacturing Company and American Erecting and Iron Works, a handful of corner stores and Downtown Racine sitting less than 2 miles away, Hickory Grove blends suburban life with an urban atmosphere. Known by residents as Mitchell — after the schools within its bounds — Hickory Grove is attractive to homebuyers for its lower price points but also offers a short trip to work for manufacturing workers of its nearby industrial sector, says Kimberly Mann, Realtor with Real Broker LLC. “It also has easier access to public transportation, so you don’t really need a car to get to work from there,” she says.
The area has a long history of industrial development, contributing to the city's growth.
Racine's downtown features historic architecture and waterfront views.

Cape Cods, ranch-styles and multifamily homes
The community holds a mix of home styles, from Cape Cods to colonial and ranch-style homes. Some of the homes are zoned for multiple families, offering a lot of home for a relatively lower price. “I have a listing that’s 2,100 square feet that’s zoned for two families, and it’s listed for $200,000," Mann says. Prices range from $120,000 to $300,000, but the median price is $187,500, up 10% from the previous year.

First Fridays in Downtown Racine
Mann says annual events in the area are going to be held in the downtown area. “We don’t really do neighborhood events in Racine.” Downtown events include First Fridays, which brings live music to venues throughout the city on the first Friday of each month from June to December. In September, more than 15,000 people descend on the downtown area for Party on the Pavement. This end-of-summer festival offers live music, local cuisine and special deals from local shops throughout the city.
