Located about an hour northwest of Chicago, the Village of Lake in the Hills has been described as “an outstanding example of a well-planned community in a natural setting.” Woods Creek, the local water source, was dammed up to create Woods Lake – one of the four lakes that give the community its name. City-dwellers from Chicago began to frequent the area as a summer retreat and soon recognized the village’s potential as a year-round community. Lake in the Hills remains committed to providing excellent services while preserving the natural atmosphere. Home to more than 23,000 residents, the community boasts an abundance of parks and lakes. A popular local attraction is the Lake in the Hills Pen Nature Preserve, a 260-acre facility encompassing a variety of ecosystems. The preserve is home to more than 400 species of plants and flowers and a variety of wildlife. Despite its small-town atmosphere, Lake in the Hills provides comprehensive services and programs. The village boasts its own airport and police and fire departments, as well as a strong educational system.
