About Student Housing in Kenosha
Kenosha is a city of around 100,000 on the shore of Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin, positioned between Chicago and Milwaukee along I-94. The city is home to University of Wisconsin-Parkside and Carthage College, giving it a modest college presence. Kenosha's lakefront is a major asset, featuring a scenic harbor, electric streetcar system, and walkable downtown along the water. The city has a strong manufacturing and working-class heritage and has seen ongoing downtown revitalization in recent years. Its location in the Chicago metropolitan area gives residents access to major city amenities while enjoying Wisconsin's lower cost of living.
