The Lake County village of Wadsworth is known for its rural surroundings, rolling terrain and upscale single-family homes. Named after Milwaukee Road investor, Elisha Wadworth, it is situated near the Illinois/Wisconsin border. Commuters can board a Metra train in Waukegan; a trip into downtown Chicago takes an hour. Major highways connect Wadsworth to Gurnee and too many lakeshore communities. The city of Milwaukee is an hour's drive away.

Attractions:
Wadsworth residents can take advantage of the many area trails that are available for walking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. There's also a canoe launch, a community park with a ball field, tennis and basketball courts, playground equipment, an ice skating pond, a ¾ mile jogging trail, and a sledding hill. And thrill seekers can spend the day with their families at Great America amusement park in nearby Gurnee.
