A mix of historic homes and commercial properties
Less than two miles southwest of Downtown Racine, Slausondale holds a mix of historic homes, industrial sites and county office buildings. While neighborhood homes were largely sold to rental companies after the 2008 financial crisis, homeowners have regained their hold, and most of the homes are now owner-occupied. “There’s quite a bit of renovation going on,” says Patty Lemke, a broker with Image Realty and owner of the property management company New4U, LLC. Lemke says homes can sell for just over $200,000 if they're renovated.
Homes from the 1800s
Slausondale's housing styles come in many shapes and sizes. Some colonial-style two-story homes date back to the late 1800s, while many bungalows and shotgun homes were built around the 1930s. Prices range from $100,000 for homes needing work to $230,000 for fully renovated homes. The median home price is $141,000, down 7% from the previous year.
Colorful colonial homes are sprinkled across Slausondale's suburban streets.
