About the community
Stevenson and District 103 schools, in attached housing, on one quiet Vernon Hills street.
Georgetown Square is a 172-unit attached-home community in the far southeast corner of Vernon Hills, on the west side of Milwaukee Avenue just north of the Lincolnshire village line. It is a single-street neighborhood, since every address sits on Georgetown Way, arranged in small clusters of buildings around interior drives and a named retention pond. Built by Zale Homes in the late 1990s, it is unusual for a Vernon Hills address in that it sits in Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 and Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125 rather than the Hawthorn and Vernon Hills High School pairing most of the village carries. The homes live like townhomes but are legally condominium units, which is the single most important thing for a buyer to understand here.
At a glance
District 103 and Stevenson
Lincolnshire-Prairie View District 103 and Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125, not Hawthorn 73 or Vernon Hills High School. Confirm attendance by address.
Stevenson under a mile
Adlai E. Stevenson High School is roughly seven tenths of a mile away, one of the shortest home-to-high-school distances in the area.
Legally condominiums
Every parcel's recorded legal description reads Georgetown Square Condominium Subdivision, which affects lender review and association authority.
172 units on one street
A single-street community with no through traffic, wrapped by the Corporate Woods office park rather than by other subdivisions.
Single-level options
Most units are two-story, but a meaningful number are one-story, which is relatively scarce in attached product of this vintage.
Georgetown Square Pond
A named pond of just under an acre sits inside the community, the source of the water views on some units.
Bike path alongside
The Vernon Hills bike path runs immediately west of the community.
What’s close
Georgetown Square fronts Milwaukee Avenue in southeast Vernon Hills, minutes from Half Day Road, two Metra stations and the Rivertree and Mellody Farm retail corridors.
- Schools
- Lincolnshire-Prairie View District 103 with Laura B. Sprague, Half Day and Daniel Wright, then Stevenson High School District 125. Vernon Hills spans several districts, so confirm by address.
- Highway
- Milwaukee Avenue, IL-21, is the community's frontage, with US-45 just south and Half Day Road and Townline Road connecting east to I-94.
- Train
- Two Metra North Central Service stations are close, Prairie View at about 1.2 miles and Vernon Hills at about 1.6 miles. The line is limited frequency, so check the timetable against your schedule.
- Shopping
- Rivertree Court is about 2.1 miles away, with Mellody Farm and Hawthorn Mall both about 2.5 miles.
- Library and parks
- The Vernon Area Public Library is about six tenths of a mile south. Residents are in the Vernon Hills Park District, which runs Century Park and the Sullivan Community Center.
- Hospital
- Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville is about 4.6 miles north on Milwaukee Avenue, and is Lake County's only Level I trauma center.
What it’s actually like to live here
Georgetown Square is what a lot of buyers are actually describing when they say they want Stevenson without the Lincolnshire price tag. The community sits inside Lincolnshire-Prairie View District 103 and Stevenson High School District 125, with Stevenson itself less than a mile away, but the housing is attached, late 1990s, and priced in a different tier than the detached homes across the village line. That combination is the strongest thing about the address, and it explains the mix of owners here: families who want the district and will trade yard for schools, downsizers who already live in the area and want to stay in it, and commuters who want to be near two Metra stations without maintaining a half acre.
Day to day the neighborhood is quieter than its location suggests. It is a single street with no through traffic, wrapped on two sides by the Corporate Woods office park rather than by other subdivisions, with the Vernon Hills bike path along one edge and a small named pond inside it. Landscaping is mature after nearly thirty years. Residents get Vernon Hills Park District access including Century Park and the Sullivan Community Center, the Vernon Area Public Library six tenths of a mile down the road, and the Des Plaines River Trail and Lake County forest preserves a couple of miles east. Rivertree Court, Mellody Farm and Hawthorn are all inside a three mile radius.
The honest tradeoffs deserve to be heard up front. These are legally condominiums rather than fee-simple townhomes, which means an association with the authority to levy special assessments, monthly dues that are not trivial, and condominium project review from lenders, so ask for the budget and reserve study, because buildings from 1997 and 1998 are now in the window where roofs, siding and drives come due. The entrance is directly onto Milwaukee Avenue, a five-lane arterial, and while interior units are insulated from it, units near the entrance are less so, which is worth walking before writing an offer. There is no clubhouse or pool of the community's own, so amenity expectations should point outward to the park district. And the Metra North Central Service is convenient in location but thin in frequency, so a rail-dependent commuter should check the current timetable rather than assume proximity means usability.
The questions buyers actually ask
Georgetown Square FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Georgetown Square. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- What does the HOA actually cover?
- Georgetown Square is governed by a condominium association, professionally managed by Foster Premier, Inc. of Buffalo Grove, covering 172 units. The association does not publish a line-item schedule of what the assessment includes, so treat any specific inclusion as unconfirmed until you see the documents. For a condominium of this type and vintage the questions worth asking are what the assessment covers for roofs, siding and drives, what the reserve balance is, and whether any special assessment has been levied or is being contemplated. Request the Section 22.1 disclosure, the current budget and the reserve study during attorney review.
- What are property taxes like?
- Roughly $9,000 – $12,000 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.
- What school district is Georgetown Square in? Is it not Hawthorn District 73?
- No. Georgetown Square is in Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 for elementary and junior high, and Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125 for high school. Vernon Hills is genuinely split among several elementary districts and two high school districts, and the boundaries do not follow ZIP codes, which is why the Village itself tells residents to confirm assignment by address. Confirm current attendance boundaries with the districts before relying on it.
- Which specific schools would my children attend?
- Within District 103 the three buildings are Laura B. Sprague School for the early elementary grades, Half Day School for the intermediate grades and Daniel Wright Junior High School through eighth grade. High school is Adlai E. Stevenson High School, about seven tenths of a mile away. District 103 has adjusted its grade configuration over the years, so confirm the current grade bands directly with the district.
- Are these townhomes or condominiums?
- Physically they live like townhomes, with attached two-car garages and, in most cases, two levels. Legally they are condominium units, since every parcel's recorded legal description reads Georgetown Square Condominium Subdivision. That matters for three practical reasons: the association is a condominium association with special-assessment authority, your lender will run condominium project review, and you should obtain the Section 22.1 disclosure, current budget and reserve study during attorney review.
- When were they built and how big are they?
- Late 1990s. Lake County assessor records put every unit's year built at 1997, 1998 or 1999, with 1998 the most common, so treat any earlier start date circulating in listing feeds with caution. Assessor living area runs from roughly 1,500 to roughly 2,500 square feet. The original Zale Homes plan lineup ran from a two-bedroom plan at about 1,522 square feet up to a three-bedroom plan at about 2,354 square feet. MLS square footage sometimes exceeds the assessor figure because finished lower levels or lofts are counted.
- Is there a pool or clubhouse?
- No. No clubhouse, pool or fitness facility appears in any record for this community, so do not count on one. What the community itself has is a named pond of just under an acre, mature common landscaping, attached garages on essentially every unit, and the Vernon Hills bike path running immediately west. Recreation comes from the surrounding public districts, including the Vernon Hills Park District's Century Park and Sullivan Community Center and the Lake County Forest Preserves.
- What do homes cost here and how is the market doing?
- Prices vary widely inside the community, because the smallest two-bedroom plans and the largest three-bedroom plans are genuinely different products. Rather than quote a number that goes stale, check the Market snapshot on this page, which pulls current list and sale activity directly from the MLS. In general terms this is mid-market attached housing that carries the District 103 and Stevenson assignment for meaningfully less than the detached homes across the Lincolnshire line.

Your local agent
Joe knows Georgetown Square
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.
