About 10 miles northwest of downtown Champaign in the suburb of Mahomet, the Lake of the Woods neighborhood shares its name with a large forest preserve. “In this neighborhood, you could have commuters going into Champaign, or even Bloomington, about a half an hour west,” says Tim Drollinger, a Realtor with RE/MAX Realty Associates with over 30 years of experience. People in the neighborhood may be able to hear an hourly serenade of bells from one of the attractions at the park. It’s hard to ignore the large neighbor in this area. The Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve spans 900 acres and has an 18-hole golf course and a large lake for boating—either by a personal craft or one available for rent. Pedal boats are available for rent on the weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A famous attraction is the six-story HI-Tower carillon, which chimes hourly between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and a short tune is played on the bells in the tower 15 minutes before and after the hour. Other attractions include over 3 miles of paved walking and biking trails through the preserve, including over the Sangamon River via a covered bridge. The Museum of the Grand Prairie is on the west side of the preserve with three permanent exhibits that depict what life was like in the prairies of this area in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Along Lake of the Woods Road, there are older brick ranch-style houses built in the 1960s and early 1970s, mainly with brick ranch-style houses. As more houses were built away from the golf course and the forest preserve, larger Cape Cod and farmhouses were built in the ‘80s and ‘90s, some on a half-acre. Prices range from $200,000 to $400,000. The Candlewood Estates subdivision has manufactured houses with three bedrooms and nearly 1,500 square feet. The prices range from $15,000 to $60,000.

Owner Filippo Paris was born and raised in Mahomet and runs Filippo’s of Mahomet, a family-owned pizza and Italian-based restaurant. It’s been in the area for over 30 years and is a local favorite, serving pizza, sandwiches and Italian entrees. It’ll Do Bar is a small-town pub that serves food and drinks and is open until 1 a.m. on weekends. There are many TVs where sporting events are usually on, and Wednesday nights are Karaoke nights. Schnucks is a popular Champaign-area grocery store with a location in Mahomet. Living in the Lake of the Woods neighborhood means access to acres of recreation and the ability to get anywhere in the Champaign area via Interstate 74. Heading east into Champaign on I-74, you can get to athletic events or other activities at the University of Illinois in about 20 minutes.
