The county itself is 1,368 square miles yet only 32.4% is landmass. There are over 90 lakes located throughout the city, thereby giving Lake County its namesake. The lakefront communities that make up the affluent North Shore area contribute to it being one of the richest counties per capita in the United States. The overall population is around 703,000 with the largest city being Waukegan. Although over 50% of the county is water, Lake County also features beautiful forests and gorgeous nature areas with extensive hiking trails.

6455 Cunningham Ct, Gurnee, IL 60031Lake County is most known as home to the only U.S. naval training center, the Naval Station Great Lakes. The naval base contributes to the growing diversification of culture in the area as people from around the world come for military training. Lake County takes pride in their bikeway paths, featuring over 60 miles of bike trails and dedicated bike lanes along many residential roads. You can also enjoy upscale culture at the Genesse Theatre, ride roller-coasters at Six Flags, or explore one of many bountiful parks across the county. Transportation in Lake County is restricted to local systems amongst its cities due to its large size and lack of a major metropolitan complex. Northern Lake County’s closest accessible major airport is Westosha Airport, just over the state line while southern Lake County residents use Chicago Executive Airport (PWK). If you are looking for cheaper or more abundant flight options, residents will have to travel just a little further to Chicago O’Hare International (ORD).
Seniors make up roughly 13% of the Lake County population with an average income of $66,485 per year. Although the cost of assisted living averages around $4,000 a month, there are state laws and services that can defer cost. Illinois offers free consultations in the Choice for Care program as well as several Medicaid waivers for assisted living. It is important to mention that Illinois is known as tax-friendly to retirees by not requiring seniors to pay taxes on social security income, IRA withdrawals, or income from public or private pension plans. The political climate has changed dramatically when President Obama, then Illinois Senator, was elected into office in 2008; the county has voted blue ever since. Crime rates are low compared to the national average of crimes as the majority of crimes are focused in metropolitan areas. When it comes to the ideal retirement location, Lake County is perfect for anyone that enjoys waterfront properties, cooler weather, and attractive landscapes.
