Quiet, secluded village with modern homes
Nearly equidistant from Chicago and Milwaukee, each within 60 miles, the quiet village of Hainesville offers a secluded slice of suburbia. While it’s the oldest incorporated village in Lake County, a drive through the area reveals modern homes, built mainly in the late 1990s and early 2000s. “Hainesville is a small, quiet bedroom community that has been around for a long time,” says Tina Henry, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. “The village is mostly made up of homes, but you’re not far from the amenities in downtown Grayslake.”
Homes in Hainesville sit safely behind sidewalks.
