Prospective Residents

Thinking about moving? Think Waukegan! Our prime location on Lake Michigan’s shore gives residents access to activities only available in a harbor community, such as fishing, boating and swimming. Waukegan offers all the benefits of a small community from reasonably-priced housing to less traffic congestion. Want to take a day-trip? Chicago and Milwaukee are both less than an hour away.

"As we drove through Waukegan, we thought it was a beautiful town. We liked that Waukegan felt like a real community, a friendly place accepting of all people. Waukegan felt like home as soon as we arrived." ~ Julie Donovan, 20-year Waukegan resident, Chairperson of the Waukegan Community Council and Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Lake County
