Located to the left of Loon Lake, the Regency neighborhood is surrounded by green grass and trees with various colored leaves. "It's Lake Country; all of the small lakes make it an ideal location for hobbyists," Aaron Kohlmeier with Welcome Home Real Estate Group says. Kohlmeier has more than 15 years of real estate experience.
The parks, waterfronts and outdoor recreation opportunities are a significant part of local's daily lives. "The lake is definitely the area's biggest attraction; people love to go out on the lake for fishing and boating," says Kohlmeier. Loon Lake is the central waterfront area, with several docs for boats and some beaches for residents to enjoy the sunshine. East Loon Lake is directly across from the lake and offers the same amenities. The Northern Illinois Conservation Club is a stone's throw away from Loon Lake and provides education for hunters, fishermen and campers. Sun Lake Forest Preserve allows locals to explore the outdoors and nature beyond the lake. Depending on the season, they will find trees and flowers that are more than a foot tall. A walking bridge lets them cross Sequoit Creek, which flows downstream into Sun Lake. Trail walkers have a chance to see wildlife, including deer and geese.
Many homes in the area sell for between $300,000 and $400,000, with some homes in the $100,000 to $200,000 range. Homes in the neighborhood come in various shapes and sizes, many being Tudor and Split-Level homes with a back and front yard. Most homes have a driveway or a garage, if not both, but have limited options for street parking. There aren't any sidewalks in the neighborhood, but the streets are wide enough to accommodate a person walking and a vehicle passing by.
Lake Villa Restaurant offers locals a place to get all their favorite breakfast and brunch favorites, including eggs and French toast. Sammie's is known for their burgers, gyros and sandwiches, giving residents a place for lunch or dinner. Looney's Pub is where people go for a few drinks and pub food, including wings and nachos while offering indoor games like Giant Jenga. Head over to Sockman's Meat Co. butcher shop for deli meats for home meals. Locals then travel a few miles north to Antioch to stop at Jewel-Osco or Piggly Wiggly for their produce and pantry essentials. Great Lakes Antique Boutique offers one-of-a-kind antiques and creations from local artists and more than 120 different vendors.
Students will start their educational journeys at Emmons School, which receives a B-plus grade from Niche. Emmons is a kindergarten through eighth-grade school that offers clubs, including STEM, arts and crafts and a gaming club. Teenage students will attend Lakes Community High School, an A-graded institution that provides after-school clubs, including archery, student council, diversity ambassadors and science club. They have an athletics program with several sports each season, including football, bowling and lacrosse.
Residents primarily get around by car since there are few public transportation options. However, the Antioch Metra Station goes up to Milwaukee and Kenosha and south towards Joliet.
