A sprawling upscale suburb near the shores of Lake Michigan

Suburban Upscale Luxury Quiet Park-Like Commuter

Situated on the outskirts of Chicago along Interstate 94, Mettawa is a beautiful upscale village that blends the laidback feel of a suburb with the convenience of a more luxurious urban area. Impressive homes neighbor modern and luxurious apartment communities, giving residents a variety of rental options. There aren’t many restaurant or retail options in the immediate area, instead you’ll find dining and shopping galore in surrounding communities like Vernon Hills. There are several community parks well within walking distance of the neighborhood. The interstate makes it easy to commute south into Chicago, or anywhere along the shores of the scenic Lake Michigan.
