The gap between the northern and southern segments of Perry Avenue is 0.19 miles long, and is primarily occupied by the [[Graceland Gardens Apartments (Racine, Wisconsin)|Graceland Gardens Apartments]] building. The northern end of the southern segment is in front of the apartment building's entrance, forming a T-intersection with [[Graceland Boulevard (Racine, Wisconsin)|Graceland Boulevard]]. Perry has only a few cross streets considering its length, and most of its blocks are treated as multiple blocks in [[Addressing system of Racine, Wisconsin|Racine's addressing system]]. The street is parallel with [[Roosevelt Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Roosevelt Avenue]] to the west and [[Echo Lane (Racine, Wisconsin)|Echo Lane]] to the east. South of Graceland Boulevard, Perry passes through a predominantly residential neighborhood, crossing [[Kinzie Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Kinzie Avenue]] and [[Lindermann Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Lindermann Avenue]] before entering the commercial area around [[Washington Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Washington Avenue]]. North of Washington, it provides an alternate entrance to [[Pizza Hut 439|Pizza Hut #439]] and [[Firestone Complete Auto Care 655260|Firestone Complete Auto Care #655260]].
South of Washington, Perry Avenue runs behind the back of [[Westgate Mall Shopping Center (Racine, Wisconsin)|Westgate Mall Shopping Center]], and provides the entrance to the cul-de-sac segment of [[13th Street (Racine, Wisconsin)|13th Street]] and the [[West Racine Post Office]] at 1300 Perry Avenue. It passes between [[Starbuck Middle School (Racine, Wisconsin)|Starbuck Middle School]] and [[Washington Court Apartments (Racine, Wisconsin)|Washington Court Apartments]] south of [[Wright Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Wright Avenue]], becoming predominantly residential again for its last block south of [[16th Street (Racine, Wisconsin)|16th Street]]. The street ends at a T-intersection with [[Byrd Avenue (Racine, Wisconsin)|Byrd Avenue]], in front of the [[Chateau I and II Apartments (Racine, Wisconsin)|Chateau I and II Apartments]] and near the headquarters of [[Rogan's Shoes]] at [[1750 Ohio Street (Racine, Wisconsin)|1750 Ohio Street]].
