The Links at Midlane
Golfing at the country club and neighborhood pocket parks
Midlane Country Club’s golf course spans 350 acres through the neighborhood and hosts tournaments like the Illinois Open and a U.S. Open qualifier. “It’s a public course, so you don’t get a membership to the course if you live there,” Towne says. Pocket parks like Friendship Park and Hilltop Park also sit mixed with the homes along residential streets. Country Lane Park’s blue and lime-green playground has separate equipment for different age groups, plus a basketball court and a baseball diamond.

Diverse housing styles and types along the golf course
“It’s a very mixed community as far as houses go,” Towne says. “You have townhouses and single-family homes that are more villa-like, and then bigger single-family homes.” Among the subdivisions, Country Lane’s tree-lined streets feature Victorian Craftsman homes built in the late 1990s with small lawns and gardens encircling mailboxes. Meanwhile, split-level homes are more common in Oak Crest. Cambridge at Midlane offers larger brick New Traditionals, and The Links at Midlane subdivision includes townhomes and ranch-style homes with personal touches like flowerboxes and statues on front porches. Townhomes and ranch-style homes throughout the community sell between $175,000 and $350,000, while single-family homes range from $300,000 to $460,000.

For brunch, locals stop in Point Pancake House, while the Shanty Restaurant is a fine-dining option with plenty of seafood and steak.

Downtown Waukegan's annual traditions and festivals
Aside from golf tournaments, residents can head into downtown Waukegan for local events. Every July, Scoop the Loop is the city’s classic car show featuring live music and plenty of food vendors. “At the Fourth of July, they shoot off fireworks at the harbor, so you can sit right at the lakefront and watch the fireworks go off,” Towne says.
