Lake Zurich

Lake Zurich is a beautiful village located just 37 miles from downtown Chicago in Lake County.  Nearly 20,000 people call Lake Zurich home and enjoy the beautiful landscape and the 250-acre lake.  The area is well known for its gorgeous lake views, and was once used as a popular resort in the early 20^th century.

Lake Zurich is a growing community with a thriving economy.  The population has more than quadrupled since 1960, as people from the Chicago metropolitan area have quickly discovered the Lake’s prime real estate and business opportunities.   The community has gained national attention as US News proclaimed it to be one of the “Top 25 Affordable Places to Live” and Frommer’s proclaimed it to be one of the “Top 100 Places to Raise Your Family”.  Lake Zurich has also received many awards including the Clean Air Silver award and the Tree USA award.

Residents of Lake Zurich get complete access to earth’s most gorgeous landscapes, with fishing and water sport activities of every kind.  Citizens also gather on the weekends for bowling at the Brunswick Zone.  The Regal Lake Zurich 12 is the community’s movie theater, with feature films showing on the big screen throughout the week.  The area Blockbuster provides movie rentals for families.

Lake Zurich also has great dining opportunities.  The Old World Bakery offers sweet surprises that are out of this world.  Brother’s Ribs is a popular eatery among families, especially on the weekends.  And with the village’s close proximity to Chicago, pizza is on everyone’s mind!  Chicago Classic Pizza offers one of a kind, mouth watering pizzas.  Lake Zurich is also known throughout the region for Fritzl’s Country Inn.  Fritzl’s serves authentic German cuisine unlike any other restaurant in the greater Chicago area.

Lake Zurich has made great strides in growing village amenities.  The Northwest Community Hospital Treatment City is now available to Lake Zurich residents to provide 24 hour medical care.  Walgreens has also opened a pharmacy in the village, so residents can have easier access to prescriptions.   Residents of Lake Zurich get the best of both worlds with gorgeous country living and Chicago’s city life just a short drive away.  The village beckons new residents each month to come and enjoy a taste of the luxurious Lake Zurich lifestyle.
