Why Live in Southwest Waukegan

Southwest Waukegan is characterized by its blend of forest preserves and the Des Plaines River, interwoven with major thoroughfares and interstates, creating a classic exurb experience. Located about 5 miles from downtown Waukegan, the neighborhood offers a quieter lifestyle while still being accessible to theaters, lakefront activities, and cocktail bars. Housing styles are varied, with multistory brick and colonial homes from the 90s being most common, alongside single-story ranchers and townhouse complexes. Homes in the western region often feature one-acre lots, while smaller lots are found in the eastern suburbs. The streetscapes are lush with mature trees, and houses are spaced apart, providing a sense of spaciousness. The highly rated Woodland School District 50 serves the area, with Woodland Elementary, Woodland Intermediate, Woodland Middle, and Warren Township High all earning high marks. Key local thoroughfares include River Road and O’Plaine Road, with regional corridors like Interstate 90, Route 21, Route 41, and Route 43 providing convenient access for commuters. The Fountain Square of Waukegan shopping district offers diverse dining options, including Big Ed’s BBQ & Bar and Anastasia’s Restaurant & Sports Lounge, as well as chain restaurants and grocery stores like Aldi and Walmart Supercenter. For fitness and entertainment, residents can visit Esporta Fitness and Bowlero Waukegan. Outdoor activities are plentiful with Arbor Park, Serenity Park, and the expansive Independence Grove Forest Preserve, which features lakes, woodlands, sports facilities, and over 7 miles of walking trails. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, making it an attractive option for homebuyers seeking a suburban lifestyle.
