Yorkville is a growing and active rural community

Yorkville, Wisconsin, is a village and mostly rural community less than a 20- minute drive from Racine. The farmland offers room and peace, but also facilitates various activities, like stargazing, going to a farm to pick fruit and visit goats and even skydiving. The area draws industry, too. Yorkville employers include Amazon, while neighboring Mount Pleasant is set to get a Microsoft data center involved in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Riley Flannery, a manager at Apple Holler, says the “sense of community” is one of Yorkville’s appeals. “It’s not a big town by any means, but I would say it’s filled with friendly people,” he says. “It’s small enough to where you might know your neighbors’ names or the person who lives down the street.”

Housing includes upscale farmland options

Yorkville has acres of crop fields and farm buildings. Lots are spacious, with some of them easily going over 10 acres. Housing includes ranch-style homes, farmhouses and manufactured homes. The village also has upscale New Traditional and Colonial Revival homes. Costs go from $330,000 to $620,000 for many homes between 1,600 and 3,000 square feet. Homes with more square footage or acreage go from about $700,000 to $3.4 million. “Generally, properties west [of Racine] in that area are selling above market value,” says Robert Chiappetta, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. “They’re in demand.” Several parts of Yorkville have an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Yorkville has diverse cuisine and baked treats

Restaurants include Blue Badger Bar & Grill, which serves food out of a repurposed Airstream travel trailer at a truck stop. The local staple sources much of its food from nearby farms. Route 20 Outhouse frequently does fish fries, shows televised sporting events and has a patio with a firepit. Nearby Saffron Grill House blends Indian, Pakistani and American foods. Country Rose Bakery & café is popular for its pies and baked treats. Apple Holler grows over 40 varieties of apples and other fruits like peaches, pears and plums. The farm also runs a fast-casual restaurant and sells hard cider. Union Grove’s Piggly Wiggly is one of the nearest grocery stores.

Recreation includes nature walks, stargazing, golf and skydiving

Yorkville’s open spaces include Evans Park, a forested area with a walking trail. The park is across the street from Ives Grove Golf Links, which has a 27-hole course and a driving range. It's also not uncommon here for locals to see formations of skydivers. Skydive Midwest, usually open from April to November, serves all levels of clients from the greater Milwaukee area and beyond. “We’re the closest diving place to Chicago. We’re only an hour's drive from the city,” says Austin George, Skydive Midwest’s manager. “We also do get a lot of local people.” Clients take off from Sylvania Airport and parachute over the Yorkville area. The Racine Astronomical Society also runs the Modine Benstead Observatory on Plank Road. The domed facilities, which house 16- and 14-inch telescopes, host monthly public nights between spring and fall.
