Riverwoods Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Illinois
A scenic residential community situated in Southeastern Lake County, Riverwoods residents enjoy their lush, forested surroundings and a convenient location just 30 miles north of downtown Chicago. Several major roadways, including Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 41, provide convenient access to the city and nearby O’Hare International Airport. Metra rail service to Chicago is also available in nearby Deerfield. Measuring four square miles and home to a population of approximately 5,000, Riverwoods has remained small in size and number since its incorporation in 1959. It is, however, one of the most desired neighborhoods in the Chicago metropolitan area, partly due to the beauty of the local landscape and the quality and diversity of the homes. Industries that provide employment in Riverwoods include educational, health and social services, professional, scientific, management, administrative and waste management services, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, and rental and leasing. Nearby Deerfield maintains more than 20 park sites, including a golf course, athletic fields and courts, a swimming pool and community center. Popular local attractions include the Riverwoods Wildlife Preserve, Ryerson Conservation Area and Volo Bog State Natural Area. Six Flags Great America is also located 20 miles to the north in Gurnee. Riverwoods students in grades K-12 are served by the Deerfield Elementary District #109 and Township High School District #113, among other districts. Several colleges and universities are in proximity for those who wish to attain a degree in higher education. Real estate options in Riverwoods consist of single-family detached homes, estate properties and land lots.
