Sidewalk chalk art and basketball hoops in front of Hidden Glen homes
The neighborhood’s roadshomes are lined along curving streets, bend and curve, hiding the park at the center. Young trees grow alongside sidewalks colored with chalk drawings and driveways adorned with basketball hoops. The homes generally sell for between $200,000 and $400,000 dollars. Older and smaller Cape Cods and ranch-style homes from the 1950s on the eastern side of the neighborhood are generally less expensive. In the more modern section opposite of it, contemporary New Traditional homes built at the turn of 21st century are on the higher side.

Strolling around the lake at Park in the Glenn
Encompassed by the neighborhood, Park in the Glenn backs many of the homes here, so residents can step into their backyard or walk down the street to access this green space. The wooded area has a lake in the center, encircled by a walking path. Kids can play at the blue and black playground at Corrine J. Rose Park, a large district park with tennis courts, baseball fields, open green space and a recreation center. In the summer, the new lime green and blue waterpark has fountain and bucket features to cool kids off while they play. Greenbelt Forest Preserve offers 5 miles of hiking trails along 4 miles of biking and cross-country skiing paths.

Cruising antique cars through downtown Waukegan
For a weekend every July, Scoop the Loop invites car lovers to downtown Waukegan. “Everyone comes out with their classic antique cars, so people will cruise through downtown,” says Waukegan local and real estate agent Marco Montoya with Midwest America Realty. “And they have vendors set up that people can explore.” In September, the city celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day with Viva La Independencia. “They’ve got the big Mexican Independence Day Parade where you’ve got people marching with horses,” Montoya says. After, there’s a festival with food, vendors and live music.Buses along Washington Street and Belvidere Road
Belvidere and Green Bay roads both run alongside Hidden Glen, lined with big box stores, within easy reach of neighborhood residents. Restaurants run along Washington Street, with buses stopping along it and Belvidere Road. Downtown Waukegan is 1.5 miles away, connected to this community by Washington Street. Just beyond downtown, the Waukegan Metra is 3 miles away, sitting along the UP-N line, which stretches all the way to downtown Chicago, 40 miles south.

Filipino and Mexican restaurants along Washington Street
Along Washington Street, SMC Panpanga Express serves Filipino cuisine, like lechon, ox tail and ube cheesecake for dessert. For Mexican food, Toluca’s Restaurant has Spanish-style roofing jutting out over the booths and walls painted to look like yellow stucco. Poppy’s offers Italian beef sandwiches and ice cream sundaes and shakes. Outside, the buildings are marked with blue and white awnings and the establishment’s name in a red cursive font. Dollar Tree is just south of Hidden Glen for quick fixes and shopping, but Lewis Fresh Market is 1.5 miles away. Jewel-Osco is about 2 miles up Green Bay Road, while Belvidere Road has a Walmart Supercenter about 2.5 miles west.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
