Communities of Antioch, Bannockburn and Beach Park
ANTIOCH
Located in the northwest corner of Lake County, Antioch hails as the northern corner of the county’s resort area.
Nearly 14,000 people call this community home and enjoy the high-quality, affordable living offered here. Residents and visitors both enjoy the array of recreation afforded in the area on the lakes and nearby hills, as well as through the six charming parks that dot the map of Antioch. The area’s newest park, the William E. Brook Wetland Sanctuary and Entertainment Center is situated within the downtown center and spans nine acres.
The Loop and Milwaukee are both easily accessible through Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 41, with alternative transportation available through Metra’s Wisconsin Central Line, O’Hare Airport (which is less than one hour from the community) and Mitchell Airport (a 41-mile drive) in Milwaukee. www.antioch.il.gov
BANNOCKBURN
Stretching over 2.5 square miles, Bannockburn’s more than 1,400 residents take pleasure in the private suburban lifestyle offered in this community. Beautiful homes, equipped with land ranging between two and four acres, line the streets of Bannockburn, a village nestled in a quiet setting among the thriving centers of Lincolnshire, Lake Forest, Highland Park and Deerfield, not to mention its proximity to the bustling downtown Chicago area. Prime education is available in the area, with 200 students in grades K-8 attending Bannockburn School and students in grades 9-12 attending Deerfield High School. Nearly 3,000 students are enrolled at Trinity International University, a compilation of four Christian-based schools, with three located within Bannockburn: Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Trinity College and Trinity Graduate School.
