Antioch

At the Wisconsin line in the Chain O’Lakes, with a small downtown, the end of the North Central Service and lake houses alongside newer subdivisions.

About Antioch

Antioch is the northernmost stop on this list. The village borders Wisconsin and sits in the Chain O'Lakes, with Lake Marie to the west, Antioch Lake to the south and Redwing Slough to the east. The downtown has independent shops and restaurants, and the PM&L Theatre has been putting on shows there since 1960.

The Antioch Metra station is the last stop on the North Central Service, with trains to Union Station. Antioch Community High School is in the village, and several elementary districts serve the area, so assignment depends on the address.

Selling in Antioch

A lake house is a different sale from a subdivision house. Water frontage, the depth of the shoreline, a pier and what the lake connects to all carry value, and buyers want those facts in the listing, not discovered at the showing.

Buying in Antioch

Outside the village limits, many homes are on a private well and septic system. Budget for well water testing and a septic inspection, check the flood zone near the water, and ask whether lake access is deeded or only shared.
