The 11th Ward
Neighborhood in Racine, Wisconsin
Racine County 53404
19th-century homes, single-family and multifamily
The neighborhood’s homes were built primarily in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the most common architectural styles are ranch-style homes, bungalows, Dutch colonials and American foursquares. While many homes are single-family units, the neighborhood also holds a collection of multifamily homes. Prices can range from $50,000 to $180,000, but Mann says higher prices are unlikely. “It would have to be in perfect shape, unless it’s a four-family house that’s great for investors.” The median home price is $121,000, up 20% from the previous year.

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.
