About Wauconda, Illinois

Wauconda, located just 42 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, has grown far beyond its origins as a resort community and is now a vibrant town that offers residents everything they need for an enriching life. Most homes in Wauconda are comfortably sized single-family houses in a variety of styles, although newer developments offer home buyers the choice of much larger residences. With 11 parks, many sports fields, and a 310 acre lake, Wauconda provides residents with a full range of leisure activities. Its central location makes it easy to reach many of the area's most popular attractions, twelve public golf courses, and rich forest preserve land make Wauconda an especially desirable place in which to live. As Wauconda has grown, its retail and dining options have increased greatly, and residents have a wide variety of choices within their own community. While homeowners can explore the many possibilities of the region, Wauconda remains a unique community to which they can return and call home.
