Long Grove – Hawthorn Woods – Lake Zurich

Where rolling countryside meets refined community living, Long Grove, Hawthorn Woods, and Lake Zurich form one of Lake County's most distinctive and desirable corridors. ZIP code 60047 offers a lifestyle defined by space, scenery, and a deep sense of place — an ideal destination for those seeking something beyond the ordinary suburb.

Long Grove's historic downtown is a one-of-a-kind experience. Brick-paved streets wind past century-old buildings now home to boutique shops, wine bars, art galleries, and acclaimed restaurants. The town's celebrated festivals — from the beloved Strawberry Fest to Apple Fest and Chocolate Fest — draw visitors from across the region while keeping community spirit alive and celebrated year-round.

Hawthorn Woods and the surrounding countryside deliver on the promise of estate-style living. Expansive wooded lots, long driveways, and custom-built homes define the residential landscape — offering a level of privacy and natural beauty that is rare within commuting distance of Chicago. Mature hardwoods, winding streets, and open skies are everyday scenery.

Lake Zurich adds a vibrant waterfront dimension to the area. Residents enjoy direct access to the lake through well-maintained parks, offering swimming, kayaking, fishing, and summer leisure just minutes from home. The lakeside lifestyle here is accessible, family-friendly, and genuinely refreshing.

Families are well served by Lake Zurich Community Unit School District 95, which covers K–12 education and is consistently recognized for academic achievement, athletics, and community engagement. Kildeer Countryside Community Consolidated School District 96 also serves portions of the area at the elementary level, while Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125 — home to nationally recognized Stevenson High School — serves parts of the broader region and further elevates the area’s reputation for exceptional public education.

In 60047, the beauty isn't just in the homes — it's in everything surrounding them.
