Lakecrest Home for Sale

Lakecrest is a Racine neighborhood with mid-20th-century homes, many of which offer expansive driveways and views of Lake Michigan. Homes on Michigan Boulevard, which rims the lake, are priced higher due to their prime location, while properties just one street over see a significant drop in both price and taxes. Despite its lakeside setting, the elevated bluff provides natural protection from flooding. The area is home to the Racine Zoo, an accredited institution involved in conservation efforts, and North Beach, a 50-acre beach with amenities like volleyball courts, a playground and live music during the summer. For dining and shopping, residents typically venture outside the neighborhood, with options like Piggly Wiggly, Dollar Tree and Main Moon Chinese Restaurant located a mile away. Other options include Pico’s Tacos and Cerveza on 3 Mile Road and Oh Dennis! Saloon & Charcoal and Buca’s Bar & Grill on State Route 32. The Wind Point Lighthouse, 2 miles north, serves as a local attraction and event venue. Lakecrest is connected to Downtown Racine and North Beach via Main Street, and is 5 miles from Ascension All Saints’ main campus. Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is 17 miles away. The Prairie School, a highly rated private institution, is located 2 miles north.
