Neighborhood in Racine, Wisconsin

Ranch and Minimal Traditional homes with original features
Polzin says affordable quality homes remain one of this neighborhood's biggest appeals. Wustum Park is a primarily residential area with ranch and Minimal Traditional dwellings, which some residents have held onto for decades. "You get into some of these other neighborhoods closer to the lake, closer to the city, and you're paying for the upgrades and the finishes other people have done," Polzin says. "In Wustum Park, you might go in there and still see the original floors; they still might have that avocado green fridge in the basement." Sidewalks and small front yards flank the neighborhood streets. Sale prices range from around $190,000 to $260,000.

Racine Country Club has a private, 18-hole golf course built around rolling hills and native hardwoods. Members also utilize the walking trail and pickleball courts. Colonial Park is a sprawling natural area with wetlands, woodlands and meadows to explore on a network of trails.

Family-owned Infusino's Restaurant and Pizzeria has been a neighborhood staple since 1971, serving up pizza, pasta, seafood and steak. "You sit at the bar, and you kind of feel like you're in an old-time Italian dining room," Polzin says. Gran Morelos Supermarket is a neighborhood stop for meat, produce and Hispanic products. The neighborhood is ushering in the Belle City Square, a mixed-use development of apartments and commercial spaces in the historic Horlick Malted Milk Factory.
