Love the welcoming feeling of a small neighborhood for a beginning family. The neighbors have all been kind and have advised of local business, emergencies, events, and have landed a hand when needed. The town has meeting shared through social media and everyone seems to be very involved in the community. Everyone knows most people in the area. Schools are friendly and the park is in the middle of town. Makes it easy to let your kids out without having to worry most of the time of them being in their own back yard. Seasonal events are very popular and well attended by everyone. Neighbors come out and talk to one another on a first name basis rather than just waving hello. The town is quite but filled with local businesses one can go and support. They’re restaurants and stores not far from home which make it easy to get too when needed.
The schools in Winthrop Harbor are fantastic. The town as a whole is a great area for raising a family. There are parks and easy access to the beach. There are many family owned restaurants to choose from all of which have a wide variety of menu items. Our police and fire departments always make our residents feel safe and welcome with excellent response times and community activities. Overall, Winthrop Harbor is a great place to live, work, eat, and play!
I live in Winthrop Harbor Illinois. It a small town nestled along Lake Michigan's shoreline. There are sandy beaches which stretch north to Wisconsin and a small harbor which shelters many small boats. We are halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago and have easy access to either big city.
We have an excellent school system and I have enjoyed the support of many dedicated teachers. A small town atmosphere is present from our quant harbor, to our parks and ball fields. I count myself lucky to be a part of this town and am glad to call it home.
