Midtown Home for Rent

Midtown in Racine, WI, is a neighborhood characterized by late 19th- and early 20th-century homes, many of which are either in need of renovation or have been fully renovated. The area is car-dependent, with small lots typically around a tenth of an acre, and features a mix of ranch-style homes and four-square cottages. The Union Pacific north line runs through Midtown, contributing to railway noise. Residents have access to the Racine Urban Garden Network, which includes two garden sites in Midtown, providing sustainable food resources. Washington Avenue serves as the main thoroughfare, hosting family-owned restaurants and shops like Esperanza Coffee Collective and Petals by Felicia. Dining options include Tino’s Carry Out for Chicago-style comfort food and Kabab and Grill for Indian and Pakistani cuisine. For groceries, residents often travel two miles to Piggly Wiggly or opt for delivery from larger stores like Costco. The Root River Environmental Education Community Center offers seasonal activities and educational programs, while downtown Racine and the Lake Michigan lakefront, just a mile or two away, provide additional events and attractions. Public transportation is facilitated by RYDE Racine bus stops, with routes connecting to downtown, North Beach, and the Racine Zoo. The nearest hospital, Ascension All Saints, is two miles northwest, and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport is 22 miles away.
