A little less than an hour from the big city
The commuter rail train still reaches Grayslake, about 50 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. While still considered a Chicago suburb, Grayslake has a special, unique vibe about it. “It’s got a small downtown area with local businesses and historic homes. It’s a great small-town feel,” says Dick Barr, broker/owner with Dick Barr Group with almost 25 years of real estate experience. “Transportation options are convenient, which means you’re still not far from Chicago.”
The Grayslake Village has a rich history dating back to 1895.

Historic downtown
The downtown area of Grayslake, known as the village center, is full of local businesses and dining options. Find out about the village's history by visiting the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum. Various exhibits chronicle the area's growth since it was founded in the late 1800s and a history of interesting correspondence the village has gotten through the years at the post office. 129 Center Cut refers to the address on Center Street where it’s located. Inside, the décor is a mix of rustic and modern, and the menu has steaks, burgers, pizza and pasta. It’s also a popular place for drinks after work. For casual comfort food with a little attitude, try Fred’s Diner. “It’s a shotgun-style retro restaurant where the wait staff is a bit snarky,” Barr says. “It’s nothing rude—it’s all done charmingly, and it’s a tradition in some Chicago-style diners.”
The Grayslake Heritage Center is a great place to learn about the villages history.

Historic houses near downtown
Surrounding the downtown area, a group of older houses were built in the early 20th century. They include spacious Victorian and Georgian homes with up to five bedrooms and more modest two-story traditional with about 1,500 square feet. “Most of them have the old-fashioned hardwood floors, but updated kitchen and bathrooms for the ones that have been renovated,” Barr says. The price range is between $400,000 and $700,000. The surrounding area has Colonial Revival, split-level and some townhouses. Prices run from $350,000 to $600,000. Some downtown commuters live here since downtown Chicago is less than an hour away. “For the most part, service members who work or train at Great Lakes Naval Station that live in Grayslake,” Barr says. That facility is about 10 miles away.

Lakes, parks and various recreation
North of downtown is the centerpiece of recreation in Grayslake. Central Park has multiple playgrounds, plenty of walking trails, and a performance pavilion where the Grayslake Community Band plays summer concerts. There’s also a disc golf course and a splash pad for use in the summer, a sledding hill during the winter and a fishing pond. There’s the Grayslake Aquatic Center near the park, which is open Memorial Day through Labor Day with a toddler section and a couple of water slides for the bigger kids and the kids at heart. Grays Lake is the village’s namesake water body accessible from Jones Island Park. Grayslake also has an extensive bike trail system connecting neighborhoods, parks and the village center area.
