Lewis Glenn's access to Waukegan and the naval base
Situated between Waukegan and the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Lewis Glenn offers quiet, residential streets just a few miles from Lake Michigan’s shores. With only three residential villages on the base, housing is limited, creating demand beyond its gates. “Years ago, most people were living on the base,” says broker Lynette Banner with New Beginnings Realty. “But the base got rid of a lot of the housing, so a lot of military people are living in North Chicago or Waukegan instead.” Just a few miles south of downtown Waukegan, Lewis Glenn is close to vintage Main Street-style shopping and dining. AbbVie, a major biomedical company based in North Chicago, also has a pharmaceutical factory near the military base, employing neighbors throughout the community.
Cape Cods and bungalows on open lawns
Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes sit alongside duplexes in Lewis Glenn on open front lawns with minimal landscaping. A mix of young saplings and mature trees line the sidewalks, with the occasional streetlamp offering light in the evenings. In the spring, yellow dandelions dot the front lawns, adding a pop of color. Homes typically sell between $150,000 and $300,000, with duplexes offering both units representing the larger end of the pricing spectrum.
There is a sense of community within the Lewis Glenn neighborhood of North Chicago.

AbbVie donating to North Chicago schools
From kindergarten through third grade, Lewis Glenn students can attend Evelyn Alexander Elementary School, before graduating to A.J. Katzenmaier Elementary School for fourth and fifth grades. Banner highlights that the schools in North Chicago School District 187 are improving, with organizations like AbbVie donating $40 million dollars to the construction of North Chicago’s middle school—Neal Math and Science Academy. The school focuses on STEM learning, with six science labs and study areas with flexible furniture to accommodate collaboration and teamwork. This school and the two elementaries all earn C-minus rankings from Niche. North Chicago Community High School is within walking distance from Lewis Glenn homes and receives a C from Niche. North of 14th Street, students attend schools in the Waukegan Community Unit School District No. 60. Niche gives Clearview Elementary and Waukegan High School a C-minus. John R.
