The countryside surrounding Wauconda is the setting for several attractive subdivisions of new homes. The newest, Saddlewood, off Anderson Road to the west of Wauconda, features large homes with two and three-car garages on large lots. Aspen Grove is another of these developments. It also contains a mix of beautiful executive and mid-size homes. Lakeland Estates, an older subdivision of large to mid-size homes is in a heavily wooded area and centered around two small lakes.
Lots are at least a half-acre in size.
There's something fun for everyone in the Wauconda area. The fun begins with Bangs Lake, of course, Wauconda's centerpiece, and continues in the village's eight well-equipped parks. Bangs Lake covers 310-acres and offers swimming, boating, water sports and fishing. It's said to be one of the finest fishing spots in Lake County. Beach Park, on the south shore of the lake, is replete with a broad swimming beach, boat ramps, playground, picnic area and horseshoe pits.
