Why Live in Antioch
During the summer months in Antioch, Illinois, the Chain O’Lakes waterway system serves as a destination for outdoor recreation. There’s paddle boarding, pontoon excursions and live music on restaurant patios, and the four-day-long Taste of Summer Festival is packed with classic carnival rides. In the winter, when chilly winds blow off of lakes Marie and Catherine, jetskis are swapped out for snowmobiles. Once home to the Pottawatomi Tribe, Antioch has grown exponentially since the mid-1800s, when the first sawmill came to town.
By the end of the 19th century, train lines made Antioch a popular escape for Chicago’s wealthiest, many of whom — including the notorious gangster Al Capone — moved into summer homes beside the lakes. Antioch’s proximity to the Windy City, about 60 miles away, and Milwaukee, about 50 miles away, has continued to make it a popular midway point for commuters. Today, the village is home to close to 15,000 people and still growing. Architectural styles in Antioch span everything from late 19th- and early 20th-century Victorians along Main Street to modest midcentury properties in neighborhoods like
Oakwood Knolls , where the sidewalks are shaded by mature trees. In
