Area Guide

Share Guide

Liberty Square sits two miles southwest of central McHenry, adjacent to the farm fields on the outskirts of town. Despite its quiet country location, Liberty Square serves as a hub for innovation and production. Follet School Solutions occupies a large stretch of land in the southern section, and Centegra Hospital anchors the north. Between the two, a variety of cutting-edge manufacturing businesses draw professionals from all over the Chicago metro area. In the center of the neighborhood, just off West Shamrock Lane, convenient rental apartments place residents a quick drive from many of the local employers.

Life in Liberty Square centers around business, but locals in the know gather at several local hotspots. Hidden in the center of an industrial complex, Kim and Patty's Cafe has a following of regulars who come for the indulgent biscuits and gravy or the chorizo skillet. Bring your appetite to the Meat and Potato Eatery for the country bowl, which features pot roast layered on a bed of French fries.
