Lake Villa Spotlight Neighborhood - Deerpath


Lake Villa Spotlight Neighborhood - Deerpath

I would love to live on a street called Lazy Acre.  The Deerpath neighborhood is located off of Route 45 just north of Grand Avenue.  Beautiful single family homes built for families.  Neighborhood has a large park & pond with Healthline exercise stations on the path.  Close to schools, shopping, and major roadways to make for easy commutes.  Be sure to take a look.

Lake Villa History on a Cold Winter's Day


Lake Villa History on a Cold Winter's Day

I love reading about the history of Lake Villa.  Did you know many Lake Villa farmers were iceman whose task it was to collect surface ice from lakes and ship the ice by train to Chicago.  According to Wikipedia ice would be cut with either a handsaw or a powered saw blade into long continuous strips and then cut into large individual blocks for transport by wagon back to an ice house. There was one such plant built on the south shore of Deep Lake in 1888.  Photo provided by the Village of Lake Villa Community website

Lake Villa Spotlight Neighborhood - Painted Lakes





Wasn't difficult to see the beauty in this Lake Villa neighborhood.  Painted Lakes has wonderful open spaces, wetland areas and near to schools, sports & shopping.  Located off of Grass Lake Road and Deep Lake Road in Lake Villa.  Nestled next to Sun Lake Forest Preserve and  Deep Lake.  Single family homes built by Centex in late 1990's.  Might be a perfect fit for your family.

Lake Villa Chamber of Commerce Luncheon at Peacock Camp 2013


Lake Villa Chamber of Commerce Luncheon at Peacock Camp 2013

Enjoyed the Lindenhurst/Lake Villa Chamber of Commerce Holiday Luncheon today at Peacock Camp off of Deep Lake Road in Lake Villa.  A camp rich in history -  Established in 1949 by Emilie Peacock daughter of the Lehmann family as a summer get away for disabled children.  The Peacock Foundation operated the camp from the late 1940s until it was sold as a private camp in 1999. Lake Villa Township acquired the property earlier this year and are in the process of renovating it for community use.  Many projects completed by area boy scout and community groups.  Something to be very proud of.
Way to go Lake Villa!

Lake Villa - Julie's Coffee Shop 2013

Snowy day? Make a stop at Julie's Coffee Shop - Lake Villa 2013

Have you stopped by Julie's Coffee Shop yet on Milwaukee just north of Grand Avenue?  What a treat.  If the wonderful aroma of coffee doesn't get you, then the beautiful gifts will 'wow' you.  My husband could pick any item from their local art selection for a perfect Christmas present... hint hint.  There is a nice relaxing sitting area for meeting up with friends.   Stop by, even found a coupon in the Town Planner.
