Discover Why Union Grove, Wisconsin Stands Out as the Ideal Destination for Your Dream Home Purchase this Summer

Located in the heart of southern Racine County, Wisconsin and situated in between the major urban centers of Milwaukee and Chicago, the Village of Union Grove strikes the perfect balance between small town charm and easy access to big city entertainment. At Korndoerfer Homes, we knew Union Grove offered the perfect tight-knit community for our buyers to call home. From incredible outdoor recreation opportunities to family-friendly community events, here are five reasons to find your dream home in Union Grove this summer.

1. Convenient Location

With its proximity to Milwakuee and Chicago, Union Grove offers convenient access to larger urban areas. Just five miles west of I-94, residents can easily commute to Milwaukee or Chicago to experience big city amenities and life. You can take a quick trip to check out the Harley-Davidson museum in downtown Milwaukee, or visit the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. Union Grove is also ideally located near Hwy 45, Hwy 20, US 43, and Hwy 11, ensuring residents feel close to city conveniences and entertainment—all while maintaining a small-town community vibe.

2. Exceptional Education Opportunities

Union Grove provides several strong education opportunities within its growing community. It is home to the highly-ranked Union Grove School district with Union Grove Elementary ranking in the upper 25 percent of all elementary schools in the state of Wisconsin. Union Grove High shines with a standout 99.3 percent graduation rate, emphasizing the district’s dedication to achieving education excellence for all of its students. The village is also located near several college and university options, including Shepherds College, Carthage College and the University of Wisconsin - Parkside—making Union Grove a great spot for individuals seeking higher education opportunities.

3. Annual Summer Events

Union Grove’s growing community is a hub for family-friendly events and celebrations. In the summer, the village hosts its annual Fourth of July parade, bringing in visitors from all across Wisconsin. The parade features a different theme each year and starts at the city’s Racine County Fairgrounds before winding through downtown on Main Street.

The Racine County Fairgrounds are located just outside of Union Grove. The Fairgrounds host fairs and expos throughout the year, including livestock shows and live music performances. You can also have a blast at the annual Racine County Fair, held during a five-day period in July. The Fair features family-friendly attractions, activities, and great food. Activities include everything from monster truck rides for the kiddos to a cream puff eating contest.

Union Grove’s revitalized downtown is home to the city’s Village Square, a focal point for restaurants, bars, and stores. During the summer, the city hosts its ‘Super Saturday’ event, which supports local businesses and celebrates the community. You can enjoy live entertainment, food trucks, and bar hopping. Kids are encouraged to join in the fun too, with face painting, balloon animals, and bouncy houses.

During the summer, you can stroll through Union Grove’s Public Market to shop for produce, baked goods, or crafts made by local artisans. Here you can find that perfect bottle of local honey, or grab a bite to eat at one of the participating food trucks. The market is open every Tuesday afternoon and located in the Northwest Corner of Hwy. 11 and 67th Dr.

4. Outdoor Recreation.

Union Grove is perfect for any outdoor enthusiast thanks to its proximity to Richard Bong State Recreation Area. Named after Major Richard Bong, a Wisconsin native known for being America’s leading air ace during World War II, the nature reserve encompasses 4,515 acres. As one of the largest open, undeveloped areas left in Wisconsin, it offers a wide-array of outdoor activities, including biking, canoeing, boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. Designated as an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society, the wildlife reserve is also the perfect place for those wanting to bird watch.

Union Grove also provides an option for residents wanting to enjoy the fast life. The Great Lakes Dragaway, nicknamed the ‘Biggest Little Track in the World,’ is a family-owned drag race track catering to anyone interested in motorsports. Here, you can watch a drag race on the oldest continuously operating dragstrip in the world, or for the more adventurous, drive your own car on the track.
