About the community
A settled, amenity-friendly Lindenhurst neighborhood next to the forest preserve.
Country Place is an established Lindenhurst subdivision in central Lake County, built mostly in the late 1990s by Westfield Homes and Ryland Homes, with a mix of detached single-family houses and attached townhomes. It is a practical, family-oriented community rather than a luxury enclave, with curving streets, sidewalks and street lights, mature trees, and a shared clubhouse and pool at its center. Two things set it apart: a real amenity package for the price point, and a location that backs to McDonald Woods and Bonner Heritage Farm, so trails and open space are genuinely at the doorstep.

What it’s actually like to live here
Country Place suits buyers who want a settled, walkable neighborhood at a price that stays reasonable for Lake County. The bones are the appeal: sidewalks and street lights on every block, a clubhouse and pool that give kids and neighbors a shared summer hub, tennis courts, and a small park inside the subdivision. Because the homes went up in the late 1990s, the landscaping has matured and the floor plans reflect that era's family-friendly layouts, so for someone who wants a real neighborhood feel rather than a brand-new look, it is a strong fit.
The location leans outdoorsy without feeling remote. McDonald Woods Forest Preserve and Bonner Heritage Farm sit right at the edge of the community, so trail walks, birding, and the Millennium Trail are at your doorstep, and Lindenhurst's chain-of-lakes country is minutes away. Everyday shopping along Grand Avenue and the larger Gurnee retail cluster keep errands short, and highway access via IL-132, Route 45, and I-94 makes the drive toward Milwaukee or the northern suburbs manageable.
The honest tradeoffs are common to this part of Lake County. There is no Metra station in the village, so rail commuters drive several miles to a station and park, and a downtown Chicago commute is a long one. Property taxes are meaningful, as they are across Lake County. The housing stock is now more than twenty-five years old, so some homes will want mechanical or cosmetic updates. And the school-district picture is genuinely split near this subdivision, so families should confirm their exact assignment rather than assume.
Market trends
Why this market moves the way it does
Country Place trades on its amenities, its forest-preserve edge, and the split between detached homes and townhomes. Because the homes share a late-1990s era, condition and updates drive value more than vintage, and the attached and detached segments move on their own supply and demand.
What holds value
The fundamentals matter more than the cosmetics here. Buyers want floor plan, lot, and basement, in that order. Cosmetics are the tiebreaker.
- The amenity base
- A clubhouse, pool, and tennis are a durable draw versus plainer nearby subdivisions at a similar price.
- Forest-preserve edge
- Backing to McDonald Woods and Bonner Heritage Farm with trail access is a repeatable demand driver.
- Home type
- Detached homes and attached townhomes price and move differently, so compare like with like.
- Condition
- With homes now twenty-five-plus years old, updated kitchens, baths, and mechanicals separate the fast sales from the slow ones.
- School assignment
- Because the district picture is split near the subdivision, the confirmed assignment for a specific home can affect family-buyer demand.
Real talk
Who shouldn’t buy here
Here is the honest version before you tour.
The school-district picture is genuinely split near this subdivision. MLS records point one way while a Lake Villa District 41 elementary sits on Sand Lake Road right beside the community, and some homes feed a different high school district. Confirm the exact assignment by address before you count on it.
There is no Metra station in Lindenhurst, so a rail commute means driving several miles to a station and parking, and downtown Chicago is a long trip. If a short transit commute is your priority, weigh that carefully.
The homes are more than twenty-five years old, so budget for updates and read inspection reports closely, and confirm the dues and coverage for the specific home since detached and attached assessments differ.
One piece of advice
“Country Place is one of the more attainable established neighborhoods in Lindenhurst, and the clubhouse, pool, and forest-preserve edge are what buyers pay for. Just confirm the exact school assignment by address, verify the dues and coverage for the specific home, and plan for the drive to a Metra station if you commute by rail.”

Your local agent
Joe knows Country Place
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.
