Kenosha is strategically located between Chicago and Milwaukee on Lake Michigan, making it increasingly attractive to remote workers priced out of both metro areas. The former AMC Motors plant is now home to mixed-use development.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Kenosha County has a diverse housing stock mix of owner-occupied and renter-occupied units. The median age of housing units reflects the area's industrial history, with significant inventory in the pre-1960 range.
