About the community
A wooded, established address in the heart of Lincolnshire.
Lincolnshire Woods is an established single-family neighborhood in the Village of Lincolnshire, an affluent southern Lake County suburb about 30 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. It sits in the area around Riverwoods Road north of Route 22 (Half Day Road), with English-themed street names that echo the village namesake. Homes date largely to the 1970s and early 1980s, when Lincolnshire grew well beyond its 1957 incorporation core, and the setting is mature and wooded, with the larger lots the village is known for. The exact developer of this section is not confirmed in public records, so treat any single-builder claim as confirm by address.

What it’s actually like to live here
Lincolnshire Woods offers the core appeal of Lincolnshire: mature trees, larger lots, and a quiet, low-density feel within one of Lake County's most sought-after villages. Buyers are typically drawn by the combination of top-rated public schools, a wooded park-and-trail environment, and reasonable highway access toward Chicago and O'Hare. The English-named streets and 1970s-to-1980s housing stock give the neighborhood a settled, established character rather than a brand-new subdivision feel.
Daily life is calm and residential, with the village's parks and the Des Plaines River open space close at hand and major shopping in nearby Vernon Hills. The reputation of District 103 feeding Stevenson High School is a major draw for families, and the setting rewards buyers who want space and greenery over walkable-downtown convenience.
The tradeoffs are honest ones. This is a car-oriented suburb, and the nearest Metra options require a drive, with the closest station riding a different line than many downtown-Chicago commuters expect, so commute planning matters. Homes here sit firmly in an upper price tier, and Lake County property taxes are high in absolute terms, so carrying costs deserve careful budgeting. Housing from this era can also mean older systems or kitchens in some homes, so condition varies widely from original-owner properties to fully renovated ones.
The questions buyers actually ask
Lincolnshire Woods FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Lincolnshire Woods. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $16,000 – $26,000 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?
- 45 to 90 days from accepted offer to keys. Cash deals can close in two weeks. Conventional financing is usually closer to 90.
- What kind of homes are in Lincolnshire Woods?
- Mostly detached single-family houses on generous, wooded lots, dating largely to the 1970s and early 1980s. Interior sizes span a wide range, from smaller original builds to large expanded or rebuilt homes, so style and condition vary by street and by home. Confirm details by address.
- What schools serve the neighborhood?
- Elementary and middle grades fall under Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103, and high school under Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125, a nationally recognized school. Exact building assignment for a specific address should be verified with the districts.
- Is there an HOA, and what are the dues?
- No mandatory Lincolnshire Woods HOA or dues schedule was confirmed in public records. Some listing sites show community amenities, but those are not verified at the subdivision level, so confirm any association, dues, or covenants through the property's title and disclosure documents.
- How is the commute to Chicago?
- Access to the I-94 and I-294 Tri-State corridor and Route 22 makes driving toward O'Hare and Chicago manageable. For rail, the closest Metra station is Prairie View on the North Central Service, while the nearest Milwaukee District North stations are in the Deerfield area, so plan by schedule and destination.
- What are property taxes like?
- Lake County property tax rates are high nationally, with effective rates roughly in the 2.0 to 2.7 percent range depending on municipality and tax code. Confirm the exact rate and bill for any specific parcel with the Lake County Assessor and Treasurer.

Your local agent
Joe knows Lincolnshire Woods
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.
