SperlingViews - Racine, Wisconsin

Racine has lost so many jobs in the past 15 yrs, the economy looks bleek not to mention the bitter cold winters suck big time! The schools here are not something to be admired and I want to move where the weather is more hospitable and more job base.[read more...]

The Lake is cool. The beach is OK. The zoo is nice, and affordable. There are pleanty of bike trails. Some festivals. In alot of ways Racine is like a college town without the college and the college age kids.[read more...]

This city is awful, bitter cold winters, rude people, crime, taxes, you name it, Racine is the worst![read more...]

A nice place to live. Racine offers a little bit of everything. There is a mall and plenty of other choices to shop-Walmart, Target, Kmart, Toys r Us, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Michaels...Plenty to do with kids- wonderful beach, playgrounds, stores with activity for kids (painting shop, jewelry bead shop, dress up shop...), restaurants geared towards kids (McD's, Chuckie Cheese...). Public schools are mixed--some are rated better/worse than others. Several parochial options. One private,independent school (preschool-12th grade)in town-excellent rating, expensive tuition. The Racine area is a great place to live. Location is ideal too- Milwaukee and its suburbs offer a lot and are not far from here (30 minutes). Chicago area is only an hour away. The three areas are conveniently connected along I-94. Amtrak is an option for commuters as well.[read more...]

We are situated on Lake Michigan and our downtown has GREATLY improved over the past 10 years - improved housing, more great shops and restaurants, many community events. We moved here 2 years ago from another part of the city and LOVE IT![read more...]
