Lincolnshire

Set outside the hustle and bustle of Chicagoland, Lincolnshire provides residents with a quiet, laid-back lifestyle. The town is characterized by its picturesque tree-lined streets, luxurious homes, and a wide variety of fine dining choices and retailers. Situated approximately 34 miles from downtown Chicago, residents can enjoy easy access to the big city amenities and activities. 

 

The history of Lincolnshire can be traced back to 1955 when it first began as a subdivision. The village was officially incorporated in 1957 and quickly attracted the attention of affluent homeowners, who were drawn to the wooded landscapes, waterfront living, and abundance of open space. Today, the town consists of four neighborhoods and offers everything from condos to single-family homes.

 

 

• Close proximity and access to public transportation
• A diverse mix of homes and housing styles and types
• Easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment venues

Lincolnshire’s lakefront oasis is appealing to young professionals working in Chicago, established families seeking a suburban lifestyle, and retirees in search of a quiet place to reside. With a population of nearly 8,000 residents, Lincolnshire exudes small-town charm and character. It’s become a highly sought-after place to reside, thanks to the abundance of nature, housing styles, and things to do.

Food enthusiasts can look forward to exploring the wide array of fine dining choices along Restaurant Row. Embark on a fine-dining experience at Wildlife, an upscale American eatery famous for its steaks, chops, and seafood. Since opening in 1999, Wildlife has become a go-to place to celebrate special occasions. For another upscale meal, consider booking a table at Eddie Merlot’s. This high-end restaurant offers prime-aged steaks, seafood, and a lengthy wine list. While traveling internationally might not be in the cards, you can experience authentic Indian flavors at Marigold Maison. Diners can enjoy an innovative menu specializing in North and South Indian flavors, served in a laid-back yet elegant atmosphere. 

Stay and play at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, which features an array of leisure activities including a PGA championship golf course and fitness center. The Marriott Theatre is attached to the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort and has been a part of the community since its first opening in 1975. The theater produces an average of five musicals each year and has presented more than 180 productions to 11 million people since opening.

In Lincolnshire, life is far from boring. Instead, residents can enjoy a wide range of things to do, regardless of their interests or hobbies. Enjoy a family-friendly day at Didier Farms, where you can find something exciting happening no matter the season. You’ll find a greenhouse, farm stand, pumpkin patch, and Christmas Tree farm, as well as fresh veggies and flowers all spring and summer.
