Winfield has transformed from farmland into suburbia
Only a few decades ago, Winfield was a rural town with little more than a few convenience stores and limited housing available. Today, the area is almost unrecognizable and rapidly growing with housing developments expanding throughout the former farmland. "When talking about why people like Winfield, there are three main things," says Jason Moon, a Realtor with Trueblood Real Estate, who has been selling in the area for over 20 years. "There's quite a bit of new construction and modern homes, the proximity for commuters is fantastic, and the schools are great with a brand-new middle school." The new amenities and city accessibility have taken Winfield from a community of about 2,200 people to a community with almost 8,000 people in just 25 years, according to the town's website. With developments still in the works and more open space to expand in, Winfield will keep growing as a suburban extension of Crown Point.
Winfield is about seven miles from downtown Crown Point.

Hundreds of homes built as the community’s growth accelerates
Demand for housing is high, and more than 200 homes were added between 2023 and 2025. "Right now, there are probably an additional 10 new neighborhoods being built," Moon says. "Most new builds are large, two-story homes geared towards young professionals and families with kiddos." New Traditional, Modern Craftsman, Colonial Revival and brick rambler homes are in tightly packed subdivisions with winding roads and cul-de-sacs. Depending on size and neighborhood amenities, they sell between $350,000 and $900,000. Condos and townhouses of similar ages and designs sell between $240,000 and $350,000. Many subdivisions have HOA fees for grounds maintenance, gate security or community pools and playgrounds. Land in the expanding developments sells between $50,000 and $170,000. "There are a couple of older neighborhoods that have been around for decades," Moon says. "Folks update those so they can keep up with the Joneses and the new construction on the market." The older houses sell between $250,000 and $320,000 and include split-levels and ranch-style homes from the 1960s and 1970s.

A-rated schools support the town’s large youth population
According to the 2020 census, about 30% of the population is under 18. "The Crown Point school district and the city realized there were all these incoming families and kids in Winfield, so they built a brand-new middle school and rezoned the whole district a few years ago," Moon says. Elementary-age students attend Winfield Elementary School or Jerry Ross Elementary School, rated A-minus and A by Niche. All Winfield students learn at A-rated Robert A. Taft Middle School, which opened in August 2023. Crown Point High School is also rated A and offers over 60 after-school clubs and activities.
Robert Taft Middle School has 1,079 students in grades 6 through 8.
Crown Point High School has 2,998 students and earns an A grade on Niche.
Jerry Ross Elementary School has 646 students and earns an A grade on Niche.
Winfield Elementary School has 613 students with a student-teacher ratio of 18 to 1.

I-65 connects residents to Chicago and Midway Airport
Crown Point is about 5 miles west, just past Interstate 65, which heads north to Lake Michigan and Chicago. "It's the main expressway to get you in and out of Chicagoland," Moon says. "So, you can live out as far as Winfield and get into the Chicago area as fast as if you lived on the border of Illinois." Chicago Midway International Airport is 50 miles northwest, and the nearest hospital, Franciscan Health Crown Point, is within a 7-mile drive.
Midway International Airport handles over 200,000 flights in a typical year.
Franciscan Health in Crown Point is the nearest health care center.

Conveniently located between two downtowns with retail and restaurants
The intersection of 109th Avenue and Randolph Street is a growing shopping center, anchored by Strack & Van Til. "That strip used to have a small-town feel with a little grocery store and a few shops. Now there are fast-food chains, gas stations and pharmacies," Moon says. "When that stuff starts moving in, you know it's a boom town." El Jimador is a Mexican restaurant farther east on 109th Avenue, painted inside and out with western murals. For retail shopping, residents usually head west to Crown Point or northeast to Valparaiso. "The neighborhood is placed well between the two cities. You can drive 15 to 20 minutes in either direction and be in two desired downtown areas with shops, restaurants and bars," Moon says.

Pilates, festivals and movie nights are on the community’s calendar
Randolph Street Park is the main community gathering space for activities and events. Annual celebrations include an Easter egg hunt, a fall harvest festival, trunk-or-treating and a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. On Friday evenings during the summer, residents can catch family-friendly movies. On Wednesday mornings, they can try a guided Pilates class.
All ages love the new playground at Randolph Street Park.

The Lakes of the Four Seasons is a private, gated community with a golf course, located in Winfield and surrounded by Lake Holiday, Big Bass Lake, Lake on the Green and Trouthaven Lake. Established in 1966, the community, which has grown to include over 7,000 residents, is part of Porter and Lake counties. Amenities and a family-friendly vibe are expected, as is membership in the property owners association. “It’s like living in a resort, only it’s home,” Rick Cleveland, community manager at Lakes of the Four Seasons, says. “We have summer concerts every year, golf courses, a pool and lots of beaches and parks.” Golfers will love having The Four Seasons Country Club in the neighborhood with its 18-hole championship golf course, swimming pool, Pro Shop and two restaurants.
Prices range from about $215,000 for a two-bedroom of about 1,000 square feet to over $380,000 for a four-to five-bedroom with double the space. Styles include split-level and ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and custom designs. Many of the older homes have been renovated and feature modern upgrades. Newer lakefront condos and townhouses provide a maintenance-free living.
Besides golfing, other outdoor activities include fishing at Big Bass Beach or playing a match at Seasons Soccer Club, a soccer complex offering programs for everyone ages four and up. Lions Park has a half-mile walking track and a playground, and Windy Hill Park features baseball fields in addition to a playground.
The country club hosts golf leagues for those looking for some friendly competition. There are about ten groups and clubs in the development, and they include activities, outings and fundraising events. Residents might join one or more, such as the fishing club, Historical Society and Watersports Association. Special event buffets and banquets are held at the Seasons Lakehouse and 19th Hole Bar & Grill.
For grocery shopping, Strack & Van Til is a few miles away at most. But for dining out close to home, there’s Seasons Lakehouse at the clubhouse for dinner or Sunday brunch. The 19th Hole Bar & Grill provides a casual setting where standard bar food satisfies many a gnawing appetite after a round on the course. To the north, there’s El Jimador Mexican Cuisine, with specials of the day and a festive atmosphere.
Two public elementary schools serve the area. On the west side, Jerry Ross Elementary was graded A by Niche, which lists it as the No. 2 public elementary school in Lake County. On the east side, Porter Lakes Elementary, graded A-minus, is part of Porter Township School Corporation. It’s a 6- to 8-mile drive to get to public schools at the next levels. Colonel John Wheeler Middle School in Crown Point is graded A and offers over 20 extracurricular activities, including robotics club, drama club and cooking club. Boone Grove High School is graded B-plus; its vocational classes have included culinary arts, criminal justice and early childhood education, facilitated by Porter County.
Golf carts registered with the property owners association are allowed, but cars are necessary for travel outside of the area. From home, it’s about 6 miles to Interstate 65; from there, Chicago is about 50 miles northwest. With privacy and perks, Lakes of the Four Seasons provides a golf-course lifestyle.
