Waukegan Gardens Home for Rent

Waukegan Gardens is a neighborhood known for its modestly-sized Cape Cod and ranch-style homes, with prices ranging from $125,000 to $250,000. The area has a strong sense of community, with multiple generations often living together. Some homes lack garages due to small lot sizes, and those with garages typically have detached ones. The southern part of the neighborhood is prone to moderate to significant flooding because of its proximity to the Waukegan River. Residents enjoy a shady park with a playground and walking paths leading to a bridge over the river. The neighborhood is three miles from Waukegan Municipal Beach, which is undergoing improvements. The 25-mile Robert McClory Bike Path runs along the eastern border, providing a scenic route for walkers and joggers. Grand Avenue features a variety of Hispanic and Latino dining and grocery options, including Antojitos Hondurenos and Mas Por Menos Grocery. Public transportation is accessible with Pace buses on Grand and Glen Flora avenues, and the Waukegan Metra station is two miles away. Waukegan National Airport is four miles north, while O’Hare International Airport is 33 miles south. The nearest hospital, Vista Medical Center East, is about a mile east.
