Hi,New to Chicago and considering to buy a new home in Wauconda, please advice on the following:-
- Community
- Neighborhood
- Rate of development
- Accessibility to Shopping malls, metra
- Taxes (heard taxes in Lake County are high)
- Crime Rate
- Resale
- Schooling
- Traffic (Commute from Wauconda to Lake Forest)
Thanks for the information,
Wauconda is good if you stay in the Fremont School Dist #79. I will be placing my home in Mundelein up for sale. 5 bedroom 3.5 bath 2 car garage. Walking distance to the high school. Everything is updated except the master bath. If there are no realtors involved we could both save money!!!!!
FYI we jsut listed a home in Wauconda on Ivanhoe Road you maybe interested in. 4 bedrooms 4 baths, 3 car garage, 1.25 acres, in law suite for 330,000. Let me know if you would like to see it.
Hi and welcome to Chicago. I believe you can go on the Village's website and be able to locate the information you are searching for. Also try looking up school report cards. You might want to take a look at these websites:
http://www.wauconda-il.gov
http://www.co.lake.il.us/about/communities/wauconda.asp
iirc.niu.edu
Hopefully this will help you. If I can help you further please contact me.
Have a great night.
You can also check out Lakehouse.com. Since 1997, this website has been the most visited lake property website. You can browse over 12,000 listings on over 5,000 lakes across the entire US and Canada. You can also register as a member and receive email updates on new and updated listings to match your search criteria.
I suggest you visit the Village website. I am sure they can supply you with the answers to your questions. Let me know if you need any help.
Good luck!

I can only assume you are not considering townhomes. Another option mybe Gurnee and to some extent Lindenhurst. Drive times would be compareable to Wauconda and you would have a few more options to consider. If you would like me to email some of these homes to you let me know. My email is Paul@JPMackey.com.
Hi,
Thank you for the advice. My office will be in Mettawa and hence do not need access to 94. I am looking to buy a home in the range of $300k. Thinking about the following options:
- Buying a new home in Wauconda (affordable in my price range)
(or) - Buying a recent (5 year old) homes in Vernon Hills or Licolnshire or any other community near to Mettawa (I searched for new homes in the near-by communities and couldn't find any).
Appreciate your advice and thoughts on this.
Thanks again !
Wauconda is a solid choise overall. Only possible downside would be access to 94. If using 12 works then by all means consider Wauconda. On JPMackey.com there are many community resources that will provide School info and other important Community info...
