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.

I have lived in Winthrop Harbor practically my whole life. This is the safest town within a ten mile radius. I grew up going to the public schools, and I loved all of my teachers they were so sweet and kind. They would take the time to help me when I needed it. There are a lot of events that go on in this town during the summer, and there is some great food like the Lighthouse. It is a bar and grill with the best BLT pizza ever! There is a large park called the 38 acers, and there are small town fairs every year. However, the best part of Winthrop Harbor is the beach and landscapes that are preserved. I live so close to the beach that every summer I do a two mile jog to get to the beach, and just soak in the sun. There is a great docking area for boats during the summer, also. Overall, Winthrop Harbor is pretty great.
