North Bay-Shorecrest is a lakefront neighborhood in north Racine
North Bay-Shorecrest offers beachfront access on the banks of Lake Michigan. This suburban neighborhood has some of north Racine's more affordable starter homes in addition to the larger waterfront estates. Residents have a neighborhood school, parks and grocery stores at their disposal. "It's an appeal for any neighborhood to be by Lake Michigan," says Jeanne Williams, Realtor with Coldwell Banker in Racine. "You're close to the water, and there are a lot of manufacturing jobs within 10 miles."
Beachfront properties and starter homes with curb appeal
The neighborhood has a variety of midcentury homes at different price points. The North Bay subdivision on the east side has the neighborhood's largest houses and lots, which can reach over half an acre. Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival and ranch-style properties are often set back from the street with sprawling, manicured front lawns. Many of these properties are within walking distance of the water, and some have private beach frontage. Further inland are smaller brick ranch, Minimal Traditional and Cape Cod-style dwellings. "It's going to be the starter homes under the $250,000 range, and there are not a lot of homes under that price anymore in that area of Racine," Williams says. Prices throughout the neighborhood range from about $170,000 to $480,000. Multifamily buildings also provide rental opportunities.
In Shorecrest, Cape Cod homes are well represented.
The occasional little free library can be found next to Shorecrest's ranch style homes.
