The village lies in a gently rolling [[moraine]] landscape, dominated by lakes of [[glacier|glacial]] origin known as the [[Chain O'Lakes]]. Among these are Cedar Lake, north of the village center, and Deep Lake, to the east. There are several smaller lakes and ponds, along with a complement of [[wetlands]]. The lakes and ponds have been important in Lake Villa's historic tourist industry, and over the years led to a small ice industry.

Drainage is ultimate to the [[Des Plaines River|Des Plaines]] and [[Fox River (Illinois River tributary)|Fox]] rivers, both of which flow to the [[Illinois River]] and ultimately the [[Mississippi River|Mississippi]].

The [[Wisconsin Central Ltd.|Wisconsin Central Railway]] runs through the village center. This is a heavily used freight line which also carries [[Metra]] commuter rail traffic from [[Antioch, Illinois]] to the [[Chicago Loop]].
