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.
