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.”

Greasy spoons and bustling breweries in nearby Grayslake

Locals running low on groceries can stock up at the nearby Jewel-Osco or Butera Market. Bento Café is a local favorite for sushi lovers. A short drive along Main Street leads to Max’s Pancake House, where friends mingle over coffee and a mix of sweet and savory breakfast dishes, from Belgian waffles and strawberry crepes to eggs benedict and breakfast burritos. On Thursdays from April through September, people stop by Hainesville Village Hall to try out dishes from local vendors for Food Truck Thursdays.

Fred’s Diner’s small booths and old-school vinyl bar stools fill up quickly for breakfast, but a heads up, it’s a cash-only establishment.
