The Perfect Setting
Where natural beauty meets small town life
It was the tranquility and beauty of The Chain ‘O Lakes and the Fox River that drew Lakemoor’s first settlers a century ago. The village that was originally a collection of summer homes and estates is today on the corridor of growth that arches north and west of Chicago.

While expansion in both residential and commercial sectors is moving rapidly in Lakemoor and the surrounding area, it is still the accessibility of outdoor living and recreation that sets it apart from other communities. The countryside is dotted with lakes, marshes, bogs and fascinating geological sites.

The population of The Village of Lakemoor is just 2,788. This is small town life with easy access to all the attractions of Chicago, to education opportunities, to shopping and healthcare.

This is also a community of strong civic pride and a focus on family. An active Parks Committee keeps introducing children’s programs such as Tee-Ball and the Lakemoor Lion’s Club hosts an annual Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party and Christmas Party for village children and families. Every August Lakemoorfest brings the community together for music, sports and games, Kid Care photos, food, bands and the best fireworks in the area.

But perhaps most important, this is a community with a plan for growth. Rather than allowing random development, Lakemoor has developed a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that recognizes the distinctive characteristics of the environment in and around the village and encourages creative adaptation to the unique landscape.

Access to local destinations as well as suburban and downtown Chicago is simple. The village is close to the intersection of Route 12/59 and Route 120 which places it at the axis of east/west and north/south travel. Metra stations dot the area with commuter rail stations in McHenry, Fox Lake and Round Lake. This makes commuting to other suburbs or downtown Chicago easy and dependable.

Parks/Recreation/Culture
Kirk Homes’ new community is surrounded by the lakes, rivers and natural beauty that has been drawing people from the Midwest and beyond for generations.

The Village of Lakemoor is settled between two state parks. In Moraine Hills State Park, residents can bike nine miles of trails in the summer and cross-country ski in the winter. Volo Bog State Park is in an area formed by a glacier 10,000 years ago. The park draws visitors and students with its environmental studies, walking trails and interpretive nature programs.

The Village has several parks including Morrison Park on the shore of Lily Lake. Also in the area are Heritage Community Park, Peterson Park and Grams Park. This collection of parks offers a rich variety of recreation from fishing and swimming to modern playground equipment, basketball and volleyball courts, a baseball diamond and soccer field. A boat ramp that is free to residents provides access to Lily Lake.

Schools/Education
Children growing up at Rockwell Place in Lakemoor will build a solid educational foundation at six area schools. After elementary, middle and high school they can stay close to home at the College of Lake County or McHenry County College. The greater Chicagoland area is also home to some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities as well as post-secondary training in specialized fields such as culinary arts, hospitality and technology.

The area is also home to an array of public libraries. Four districts serve the village; their interdistrict loan program allows library cardholders to use facilities in each of the districts.

Shopping/Health/Community Services
Lakemoor’s location makes it a hub for great shopping. Gurnee Mills offers outlet shopping, while nearby Woodfield and Hawthorn Shopping Malls have a large collection of major retailers. For more leisurely pursuits, Main Street in Wauconda offers a variety of antique stores and boutiques. Grocery shopping is equally diverse, from major chains to convenience stores. Even the restaurants offer diversity. From the nationally acclaimed Le Vichyssois French restaurant to family dining and traditional dinners, every appetite is served. Casual dining is always nearby in downtown Wauconda, including a picturesque lakefront restaurant.
