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.
