Illinois
Round Lake real estate is regarded as a beautiful, but less active, market in Illinois for lake homes and lake lots.
Typically, buyers can find around 10 Round Lake homes for sale, and very few Round Lake lots and land for sale.
Round Lake is one of Illinois' largest lakes.
Round Lake is 227 acres in the famous Lake County region. What makes this lake unique is that it is large enough to support several villages including, The Village of Round Lake and The Village of Round Lake Beach. Each town has its amenities, events, and community feels.
Another beneficial aspect of living on Round Lake is its proximity to the 7,000-acre Chain O’Lakes waterway system. This system consists of 15 lakes, and it is reported to be the busiest inland recreational waterway per acre in the United States.
Residents on Round Lake can enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, and other water sports. The Village of Round Lake Beach has a boat launch for easy water access and places to picnic.
Lakefront Park on the northern shore of Round Lake is a part of the Village of Round Lake Beach. This park has beaches, picnic shelters, a playground, a shoreline overlook, and more.
You can even try your hand at fishing. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of fish including bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, Northern pike, white crappie, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.
Residents of Round Lake can take the short drive over to one of the 15 lakes that make up the Chain O’Lakes system. These vast lakes offer even more opportunities to cruise the water, ski, tube, or fish.
There are a plethora of shops, restaurants, vacation rentals, and attractions for the family to enjoy. There are even restaurants that sit on the lake, no car necessary.
Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or a vacation rental, Round Lake is an excellent choice.
