VERNON HILLS
Though initially established as a two hundred acre farm in 1851, the community of Vernon Hills has undergone a considerable transformation due to its use of both commercial and residential development. The result is a family centered town that maintains a highly regarded school system, an exceptional park district, and a thriving commercial base.
Residential
With an average listing price of $577,116, the community of Vernon Hills features a diversity of homes that vary in size and style. Though the community also maintains a developing commercial district, initiatives like the on-going tree planting program and the development of new recreational facilities have kept an even balance between the two.
Commercial
With the continued development of such commercial parks as the Hawthorne
Center and Corporate Woods, tax revenue helped alleviate
some of the property tax burdens and the growth of Vernon Hills increased
in leaps and bounds at the end of the 20th century. Today, the community
features a wonderful restaurant scene with such fine dining as Portofino’s,
Opa Estiatorio, and Tsukasa Of Tokyo, and a great number of marketplaces
for indoor and outdoor shopping.
