Lincolnshire
North Shore Suburbs
Lincolnshire, 29 miles north of the Loop,
is a quiet community located in the midst
of rapidly growing suburbs. The affluent
village features custom designed, singlefamily
homes on large lots. Construction
in Lincolnshire has always been planned
around its many mature trees, adding to
its distinct rural charm. Strict architectural
guidelines have been put in place to aid in
the creation of a new downtown area that
includes the addition of a 20-screen cinema
and IMAX auditorium.
Although small,
Lincolnshire is progressive and considered
“business friendly.” Some of the most
prominent companies in America are
headquartered here including the Marriott
Corporation, Hewitt Associations,
Hawthorn Realty Group, Van Vlissingen,
Quill Corporation and Vorelco.
The seven-acre Spring Lake Park has
swimming, ice skating, playgrounds,
picnic facilities, a tennis court and a
baseball field. There are also six other
parks in Lincolnshire, including two with
lighted tennis courts.
The Lincolnshire
Park Board sponsors numerous and varied
recreational programs. It also provides
recreational opportunities not found
elsewhere in the community, including
pre-school dance, computer classes for
adults and children, an assortment of art
classes, nature programs, summer camps
and various seminars. Included in its
brochure is a complete listing of all
programs, both commercial and volunteer,
found in Lincolnshire. One popular event,
sponsored by the Lincolnshire Community
Association, is its Fourth of July celebration
highlighted by a parade, a 5K race, games,
food, live bands and capped by a
fireworks display.
Housing
Lincolnshire is a community of
subdivisions offering numerous new
custom-designed homes on lots ranging
in size from half-acre to two full acres.
Most homes are less than 35 years old.
The lowest selling price in 2006 was
$310,000 with a high of $1,750,000. The
average sale price in 2006 was $708,198.
Schools
Elementary students attend the
Lincolnshire-Prairie View School district 103. The district places near the top of all
state public schools on the IGAP tests,
and is a recipient of the Excellence Award.
Transportation
The Tri-county Tollway
(I-294) is on the edge of the village.
O’Hare Airport is a 35-minute drive, and
Midway is 65 minutes away. Commuters
can board trains at either the Milwaukee
Road line or Metra stations in Deerfield
for a 48-minute trip to the Loop. Bus
