Pledge to keep the rural landscape in Hawthorn Woods
With the rural landscape and the options for taking lessons for horseback riding on a farm, it’s hard to believe that the East Hawthorn Woods neighborhood is only 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago and only a 10-minute drive to a Metra commuter rail station. “We’re a more outdoorsy community,” says Kim Stewart, Communications Coordinator for the village of Hawthorn Woods. “Lakes and parks surround us. Boating, biking and horseback riding are big activities.” Hawthorn Village is also a Dark Sky Community after the village passed a lighting ordinance in 2019 that would limit the amount of light pollution and make the night sky conducive for stargazing.
Welcome to East Hawthorn Woods, a rural neighborhood that takes pride in preserving its land.
East Hawthorn Woods has many relics of it's farming past and the surrounding farming area.

Horse stables in Hawthorn Woods
Along Gilmer Road are a few multi-acre farms where horses are boarded, and lessons are given to those who want to learn horseback riding. Red Coat Farm has two indoor arenas, a large outdoor arena where lessons occur, and Red Coat Farm Show Team practices. The team competes at national and international events. There are no horses, but horsing around in the pool within reason can happen at Hawthorn Woods Aquatic Center, with two water slides, multiple lanes for lap swimming and availability for group and private swim lessons. It’s also the site of the annual tree sapling distribution drive-through to encourage families to plant in their yards. That happens every Arbor Day. Further south near the intersection of Old McHenry and Midlothian Roads is Hawthorn Woods Community Park, the home of the Friday evening summer concerts from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Diamond Lake Beach is a few minutes to the north, in the village of Mundelein, and has a sandy beach area on the shores of Diamond Lake. There are also kayaks, paddle boats and paddleboards available for rent. Rambling Hills Park has 10 acres of picnic areas, sports fields and a playground.
East Hawthorn Woods residents can go riding at Red Coat Farm.

Two phases of elementary school in the Fremont School District
Elementary school students who choose to attend public schools could find themselves going to multiple schools through fifth grade. Fremont Elementary, which teaches students through second grade, and Fremont Intermediate Schools both get B-plus grades on Niche. Both are located on Fremont Center Road and across the street from the next step in the process, Fremont Middle School. That school gets an A-minus and has over 750 students in grades six through eight and a 15-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Stevenson High School receives an A-plus and is rated the fifth-best high school in the state out of over 700. It’s the only high school in the country to receive the U.S. Department of Education’s Blue Ribbon Award five times for excellence in education, most recently in 2019.
