WEST RACINE on WASHINGTON

Today’s trendiest communities offer a mix of vintage and new: in-town settings where you can park the car and walk down the streets...do your shopping close to home or on the way from work!

Welcome to WALKABLE WEST RACINE!

West Racine is located along Washington Avenue and West Boulevard in Racine. The area was settled in the late 1800s as a Danish community specializing in Kringle pastry – a gourmet treat still grabbing the culinary attention of connoisseurs around the world!

Come take a leisurely, old-fashioned sidewalk stroll through the neighborhoods past century-old, traditional homes. Saunter in to be seen at the upscale coffee house. Follow your nose to the nostalgic West Racine Danish bakeries making fresh Kringle, and take home a bag of pastry for breakfast tomorrow. Walk slowly for the first time this week, down the pleasant streets to visit shops that carry out-of-the-ordinary goods: children’s books, quality furnishings for your home and natural medicines.

Pamper yourself with a new hairstyle, spa treatment, or a manicure. Splurge on a hot, fresh, gourmet pizza for lunch. Find services from travel and realty to interior design and embroidery, shoe repair and dry cleaning – even chiropractic care, acupuncture, eye and dental care! You’ll be welcomed by the friendly staffs of West Racine who know the value of personal service.

When you’re ready to head home, stop at the convenient CVS Pharmacy for those must-have items!
