Horse country in suburban Chicago
The aptly named northwest suburban Chicago neighborhood, Bridlewoods Park, is home to several horse farms and boarding facilities in Hawthorn Woods, about 45 miles from downtown Chicago. “This is the place to be if you love horses or being surrounded by horses,” says Lynn Fairfield, a resident of the neighborhood and a broker associate with Re/Max Suburban. “There is a designated horse trail at nearby Lakewood Forest Preserve that would have been the site of Olympic equestrian events had Chicago got the games in 2016.” The area features a blend of suburban homes on expansive lots in a rural environment where grocery runs require a bit of a trip, but connecting with nature does not.
Homes on at least 1 acre lots in Bridlewoods Park
Most homes in the neighborhood sit on at least 1 acre lots. The village of Hawthorn Woods regulates that those living on lots at 5 acres can have stables where horses can be boarded unless a smaller property has been grandfathered in. Ranch-style, Tudor and Colonial Revival homes sell for between $400,000 and $850,000. While most houses were built in the 1980s and ‘90s, some date back to the ‘60s and have been renovated. The neighborhood's peaceful vibe is reflected in the low CAP Index crime scores of 1 in all categories, below the national average of 4. “There are big oak trees that give some houses extra privacy, and people have planted trees in this neighborhood,” Fairfield says. “Some homes back up to a small neighborhood pond.” There are areas in the neighborhood that are at moderate risk for fire because of a history of fires in brushy areas that spread to homes.
Bridlewoods Park has a number of larger lots with plenty of space for landscaping ideas.
Bridlewoods Park features a number of colonial revival style homes with well maintained yards.

Lakewood Forest Preserve
Just north of the neighborhood is the 2,800-acre Lakewood Forest Preserve, with dedicated equestrian trails and separate paths for hikers and cross-country skiers in the winter. The preserve contains 25 threatened and endangered species and is home to the 70-acre Wauconda Bog, a National Natural Landmark. The neighborhood’s namesake park is a 19-acre open space at the center of the neighborhood. A walking path goes around the perimeter, where folks are seen walking dogs and getting steps in. A playground is near a small parking area and tennis and pickleball courts. The neighborhood's Barrington Hills Polo Club is the only nationally recognized polo school in the Chicagoland area where professionals in the sport teach lessons. The LeCompte Kalaway Cup is held here every September, with two matches during the day. The Parade of Hounds is part of the festivities, where foxhounds come out with riders. Wedgewood Riding Center and Foxcreek Stables are close for horse riding lessons or boarding services. Indoor exercise is available at Foglia YMCA with weight rooms, a pool and pickleball courts.

Rand Road leads to dining and shopping
There is no commercial development in Bridlewoods Park, so eating out and general shopping requires a short journey. That starts on Rand Road, or Route 12, where heading north will take you toward the village of Wauconda. On the way is J & D’s Bar and Grill, with daily food and drink specials, a spacious dining area and the opportunity to catch the game on their many TVs. It’s a little more than 4 miles to get to the Jewel-Osco in Wauconda for groceries. South toward Lake Zurich on Route 12 leads to Zin Gastropub, a farm-to-table restaurant using locally sourced ingredients, which is 4 miles to the south. Further toward Lake Zurich are Kohl’s, Target and Trader Joe’s for another option to stock the pantry.
Bridlewoods Park residents can get a great bite at The Hungry Mule.
