Located about an hour northwest of Chicago, the Village of Lake in the Hills has been described as “an outstanding example of a well-planned community in a natural setting.” Woods Creek, the local water source, was dammed up to create Woods Lake—one of the four lakes that give the community its name. City-dwellers from Chicago began to frequent the area as a summer retreat and soon recognized the village’s potential as a year-round community. The community remains committed to providing excellent services while preserving the natural atmosphere.
Home to more than 60,000 residents, the community boasts an abundance of parks and lakes. A popular local attraction is the Lake in the Hills Pen Nature Preserve, a 260-acre facility encompassing a variety of ecosystems. The preserve is home to more than 400 species of plants and flowers and a variety of wildlife. Despite its small town atmosphere, the area provides comprehensive services and programs. The village boasts its own airport, police and fire departments, as well as a strong educational system. Real estate options in Lake in the Hills include single-family homes, low-maintenance condominiums and townhouses, sprawling estates with golf course frontage, and land for custom building.
