Editing Lake in the Hills, Illinois (section)

== Neighborhoods ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2012}}
The heart and soul of Lake in the Hills is considered by many to be the collection of older neighborhoods colloquially dubbed the "Old Section". For many L.I.T.H. natives, the Old Section is considered the "true" Lake in the Hills, as it contains the lake and the hills from which the town derives its name. The Old Section is unique for its eclectic appearance, as opposed to the newer neighborhoods more homogeneous tract style. Within the Old Section there are four main neighborhoods. These four neighborhoods are as follows: the Original section, the Indian section, the Tree section, and the Presidents section. All, besides the Original section, derive their names from the street names of the area. So the Presidents section contains streets named after presidents, the Indian section of Indian tribes, and the Tree section of different species of trees. The Original section is dubbed so because it is where most of the early settlement took place.
Aside from the village's older section, the village has developed several neighborhoods, especially due to the rise of subdivisions in the village over the past 15 years.

*Prairie Point, located along Cunat Court is a neighborhood on the village's eastern side, just west of Pyott Road.  It included 3-story condominium buildings and a neighborhood recreational center and pool.
*Boulder Ridge is a [[gated community]] in the central section of town, north of Algonquin Road, south of Miller Road and east of Frank Road.  It features homes worth between $400,000 and $1,000,000.  It also includes the village's only 18 hole golf course, and an immaculate country club which is a popular spot for banquets.  On the west side of Frank Road, is the child development "The Lakes of Boulder Ridge", which offers a 9-hole golf course, scenic setting, and expensive duplex homes.
*Big Sky and Harvest Gate are neighborhoods just west of [[Randall Road]] and south of Miller Road, just east of Boulder Ridge.  They are some of the village's first subdivisions and were built by the same developer, [[Town and Country Homes]].  Woods Creek divides them. The new Lake in the Hills Village Hall, and Lincoln Prairie Elementary School are all located within these neighborhoods.
*Spring Lake Farm (north) is a subdivision south of Miller Road, west of Frank Road.  It was also among the village's first subdivisions, built c. early 1990s, by [[Sundance Homes]] and Americana Homes.  It includes both single-family and multi-family homes.
*Spring Lake Farm (south) is a single-family home subdivision built by Sundance Homes on Algonquin Road, west of Lakewood and immediately east of [https://web.archive.org/web/20100418221627/http://www.tomsfarmmarket.com/default.aspx Tom's Farm Market] in Huntley. It was the village's first subdivision west of Lakewood Road.  Homes in this neighborhood are valued generally in the $200K range.
*Bellchase is a neighborhood built by Sundance Homes on the village's only parcel south of Algonquin Road.  This neighborhood features Bellchase Commons, LeRoy Guy Park, and a full range of homes, from 2- and 3-bedroom [[duplexes]] and smaller 2-story "freedom" homes to large 4- and 5-bedroom homes.  Duplexes in this neighborhood are valued from the high $100s, single-family homes are priced from the mid $200s to the mid $300s.
*Sumner Glen and Provence are neighborhoods built by Town and Country Homes.  They are located along the western side of Lakewood Road from Algonquin Road to Miller Road.  Normandy Park and Exner Marsh Nature Preserve along Reed Road serve as this area's centerpiece.  Provence features slightly smaller homes, including both ranches and two-stories, valued generally in the $200K range.  Sumner Glen features more expensive homes, some with 5-6 bedrooms, valued generally in the $300K range.
*Heron Bay is a small neighborhood featuring slightly upscale homes starting in the low $300s.  It backs up to the Exner Marsh and features a very large pond with multiple fountains.
*Meadowbrook is the village's most expansive neighborhood.  Located in the northwest part of the village, along Miller, Lakewood, and Haligus Roads, it is anchored by Sunset Park and features several smaller neighborhoods within.  Impressions is a duplex-style home community, Summit Ridge is a small neighborhood of exclusive homes, Sunrise and Drake Park are moderately priced neighborhoods featuring one and two-story homes, and Regatta is a neighborhood featuring smaller one-story and two-story homes.  Concord Hills, however, was the first community and is located just east of Lakewood Road, north of Miller Road.
*At the southeast corner of Lakewood and Ackman Roads is the Cheswick Place subdivision, built by Orleans Homes. The neighborhood consists of over 100 single family homes, with retail and small office buildings, a small market and a gas station to the northeast. This neighborhood has a small, operating cornfield fronting its main entrance on Ackman Road. This neighborhood is bordered by Ackman Road to the north, Lakewood Road to the west, The Impressions neighborhood and a wetland to the south, and Swanson Road to the east. It has 2 village-owned parks and a small non-village gazebo park with a short paved bike path.
*Fox Ridge Farm, a planned subdivision of potentially 200-300 homes located on the village's western fringe along [[Illinois Route 47]], is currently under development review.  Once constructed, it will likely be the last ''major'' subdivision developed in the village, as Lake in the Hills has become landlocked by other municipalities.
* The old neighborhoods are primarily in the original section of the town. This consists of all homes residing in the original development of the town. This is usually considered, by locals, to include all homes built within an area of close to the actual lake. It is widely recognized that if a home is within a short walking distance of the lake, the police station, or the fire department, that said home is one of the original homes in the town.
