Real Estate

Not many regions in the U.S. can offer sufficient metropolitan amenities well-blended with quiet suburban living — Lake County does.

The area’s population is on a steady rise, currently home to more than 704,000 — a number that does not reflect the hundreds of thousands of tourists and business professionals visiting the area every day. The quality of life in the communities of Lake County is quintessential, with considerable housing options, some of the best school districts in Illinois, endless recreational opportunities and an all-around strong business environment.

Encompassing 52 municipalities and 18 townships within the area’s 470 square mile radius, Lake County has something for every price range and style when it comes to residential living. Upscale homes from $500,000 to well over $1 million, modest single-family homes, spacious townhomes, comfortable apartment and condominium complexes and rental units are all available here. The region is also home to the U.S. Navy’s only recruit training facility, the Great Lakes Naval Base, home to thousands of Navy enlistees.

Investing in Lake County real estate is truly beneficial, with home values continually on the rise. Since 2000’s average of $191,617, home worth has risen to $269,853 (2005) — a number projected to hit nearly $350,000 by 2010.
