Racine County Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 60 reviews
Racine county is pretty nice, it has a nice environment for the most part. There aren't many activities to do around here and some areas are scary. There are nice places to hangout safely and I really enjoy those places!
I find that growing up in a "small" place really opens your mind up to larger things. I love being able to walk around by a river in the woods, or go swimming right in Lake Michigan, but also being able to roam around downtown and feel comfortable where I go. Because Racine is small, all of my childhood memories are connected in some way to each other and many of them are in the same places. After living here for a while, you will find that practically everyone you know is extremely distantly related. Your teacher could be your father's step-grandpa's second cousins' son, and that's just how things are. I would say Racine is very good at not being a noisy city, but also not quite a large prairie field with a bunch of farms and corn. People are quite adaptable after growing up here.
Racine has it’s ups and down just like any other city but it is the home to SC Johnson, or better known as Johnson Wax. The company recently added a waterpark to the community which is family friendly. It is also adding a sports complex nearby. Other than that Racine is located between Chicago and Milwaukee. Two very well known cities. If a visitor cannot find something to do in Racine between its waterpark and shopping areas, two big cities are close by. That also works for jobs and the commute to and from.
