I’ve owned a home there for 14yrs and it’s beautiful. Especially comfortable for families and retirees. Where else can you waterski, golf, and relax in a safe place behind the gates. Yes it has some challenges like every other community that’s over 5000 residents, but those objections exist in any community of this size. It has its beautiful homes, and some that need updating, it has good leaders, as well as some curmudgeons. The positives completely outweigh the the challenges though. Some of the best memories of my life are from my time there. Also low taxes!
Pros: Lake living, private golf course, safe, great neighbors, low taxes especiallu compared to anywhere else in norther IL with Lake access. Cons: Security should only be at the gate, we don’t need em driving around, it’s overkill.

It is a very family-oriented community. Situated on a 240-acre stocked lake, it offers fun for everyone no matter what the season is. During the summer we have the battle of the bands at the lake on the 4th of July and our own fireworks display as well. We have two school district boundaries within our subdivision so you need to make sure of which schools you plan on attending first before purchasing. Although I did my homework and both school districts are terrific.
Many of the residents who live in Candlewick lake are not friendly, and can be rude. Many times I have waived to people when driving through the community only to get rude stares back. Posted speed limit is 25 MPH yet people speed through, and tailgate behind other drivers. People run stop signs with out stoping. Neighbors let their dogs outside to bark incessantly next door.
Have lived all over the country, and have to say that the people Here seem to be some of the rudest. Will be moving as soon as possible. To anyone considering the move to Candlewick, please do your research.
On a positive note, though people here are not friendly, it is a safe community To live in my opinion, so there is a trade off.
