About the community
Attached homes on the Fox Lake Country Club, minutes from the Chain O'Lakes.
Woodland Green is a compact townhome community on the north side of Fox Lake, off North State Park Road just above Grass Lake Road. Built in phases from roughly 2001 through 2008, it sits inside the footprint of the Fox Lake Country Club, and several homes on Fairway Drive and Ginos Way back directly onto the fairways. The streets are short, several end in cul-de-sacs, and the association handles the lawn and the snow. It reads as the low-maintenance alternative to the century-old lake cottages and postwar houses that make up much of the village, which is why it draws downsizers, first-time buyers, and weekend owners who want a base near the water without a rehab project.

What it’s actually like to live here
Woodland Green is what you buy when you want the Chain O'Lakes at the end of the street without the maintenance list that comes with a hundred-year-old lake cottage. The homes are early-2000s attached plans tucked into wooded, rolling ground, and the ones that back to the course have decks and four-season rooms pointed at green space instead of a neighbor's siding. Ranch plans with walk-out lower levels are the premium product here. Through traffic is essentially nonexistent, and because the association handles the lawn, the landscaping, and the plow, a lot of owners are people who are deliberately done with a half-acre.
The daily rhythm is small-town northern Lake County. Golf at a public course you can nearly walk to, boating and fishing on a connected system of lakes with no horsepower limit, and a village lakefront park with a beach, a splash pad, pickleball, and a fishing pier. Fox Lake still runs on a summer calendar in a way most Chicago suburbs do not, and the town visibly fills up between Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you like a place that gets busy on the water in July and goes quiet in February, that is a feature rather than a flaw.
The honest tradeoffs are distance, taxes, and the realities of attached housing. This is the far northwest edge of the metro, there is no expressway in Fox Lake, and the Metra ride from the terminus into the city is a long one built around peak commuters, so it works well for a traditional schedule and poorly for someone who needs midday flexibility. Lake County property taxes are heavy, with effective rates that generally run in the low-to-mid 2 percent range of market value, which raises the true monthly cost of ownership. Attached homes also mean an association, shared walls, and rules, and a community built in the mid-2000s is at the age where roofs and asphalt come due, so read the budget and the reserve study rather than assuming they are funded. Retail is limited compared with the Route 60 or Randall Road corridors, so a big-box run is a project.
The questions buyers actually ask
Woodland Green FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Woodland Green. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Woodland Green is an attached-home community with monthly assessments. Reported inclusions are lawn care and landscaping, exterior maintenance, snow removal, and common area insurance, which is the standard package for this housing type. Amounts vary by unit and building, so confirm the current assessment, the association budget, the reserve study, and any pending special assessment on the specific home.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $6,000 – $9,000 per year, depending on home size and value. Lake County assessor records are the source of truth. Happy to pull a specific bill on any home you're considering.
- What's the typical closing timeline?
- 30 to 60 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 60.
- Is Woodland Green actually on a golf course?
- Yes. The community sits inside the footprint of Fox Lake Country Club at 7220 N. State Park Road, an 18-hole public-access course, and several units on Fairway Drive and Ginos Way back directly onto fairways. It is not a private club community, and owning here does not include or require a golf membership. Anyone can book a tee time directly with the course.
- What schools serve Woodland Green?
- Fox Lake Grade School District 114 for PreK through 8, with Lotus School covering PreK through 4 and Stanton School covering 5 through 8, then Grant Community High School in Grant Community High School District 124. Fox Lake is genuinely split among several elementary districts, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the districts before you write an offer.
- Is there an HOA and what does it cover?
- Yes. These are attached homes with monthly assessments, and the reported inclusions are lawn care and landscaping, exterior maintenance, snow removal, and common area insurance. There is no clubhouse or pool, so the dues buy maintenance rather than amenities. Amounts vary by unit, so ask for the current assessment, the association budget, the reserve study, and confirmation of any pending special assessment.
- Are these townhomes or condominiums?
- Both forms appear in the community. Some units are titled and marketed as fee simple townhomes and others as condominiums, which is common in Chicagoland attached housing of this vintage. The distinction affects financing and insurance, so confirm the ownership form on the specific unit rather than assuming.
- What do homes here cost and how is the market?
- Pricing and pace change constantly, so check the live Market snapshot on this page rather than a number frozen into a sentence. In general terms, Woodland Green sits at an attainable price point for Lake County attached housing, with the golf-backing and walk-out lower level units carrying the premium.
- How is the commute and what are taxes like?
- The Fox Lake station is about a ten-minute drive and is the northern terminus of Metra's Milwaukee District North line into Union Station. It is a long ride and the schedule is built around peak commuters, so check current timetables if you need midday flexibility. On taxes, Lake County effective rates generally run in the low-to-mid 2 percent range of market value, and the exact bill depends on the taxing districts and exemptions on that parcel. Confirm with the Lake County Treasurer.

Your local agent
Joe knows Woodland Green
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the places I actually know, and the things that move value here don't show up in the MLS write-up: which streets and buildings hold demand, what the HOA or assessments really cover, how the comps read once you account for condition and location, and where buyers consistently want to be.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who has read the last 50 closed comps in this specific market, not a national average, and can tell you what they actually mean for your price. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.
