Countryside Houses for Sale

Countryside is a neighborhood located on the western fringes of Mundelein, known for its proximity to golf courses and lakes. The northern section features homes near Steeple Chase Golf Club and Countryside Golf Club, while the southern part is closer to Countryside Lake and Sylvan Lake. The area is characterized by large lots, some up to two-and-a-half acres, and includes the Countryside Lake Association, where properties surround the lake and offer amenities like a beach with a lifeguard. Recreational options include Orchard View Park and Wortham Park, which cater to different age groups with playgrounds, walking paths, and sports facilities. Infinity Farm, an 18-acre horse riding facility, adds to the rural charm, offering lessons and boarding. The neighborhood has highly rated schools, including Fremont Elementary, Intermediate, and Middle Schools, as well as Mundelein Consolidated High School. Dining options feature Little Joey’s Pizza & Pasta, known for its Chicago-inspired Italian cuisine, while shopping needs are met by ALDI and Mundelein Crossing Shopping Center. Despite its attractions, Countryside is car-dependent with a low walkability score and limited sidewalks. It's about a nine-minute drive to the Mundelein Metra station, providing access to downtown Chicago. Homes in the area range from 1950s lakefront ranches to contemporary houses built in the early 2000s, with prices varying based on location and style.
