A gated golf course community

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.

Ranch-style dwellings, Cape Cods and more

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.

Lakes of the Four Seasons features single-family properties that sit on spacious lots.

Lakes of the Four Seasons Country Club

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.

Local eateries and a nearby grocery store

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.

Highly-rated public schools

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 and the commute to Chicago

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.

There are not enough high quality restaurants in my area. Basically there are chains such as TGIF's, Chilli's, etc. I would like to see more mom-and-pop style restaurants that really invest in "homemade." cooking. It would be beneficial to have a variety of menu choices, at reasonable prices. One chain that would be worth having in our area is Claim Jumpers. They have a location in Chicago and feature a vast menu. Also, a Boston Market would be another viable option.
