Vernon Hills Apartment Living
Neighborhood Vibe
Vernon Hills is a town with a suburban feel. It's an affluent town with plenty of shops and community activities, good schools, and a priority on safety. However, the big city vibe is still apparent in Vernon Hills.
Heart of the Neighborhood
The Vernon Hills Golf Course is a nine-hole golf course. In the Chicagoland area, it's consistently ranked in the top 10. The course offers much for golfers of all skills, from small greens and narrow fairways. Admire the rolling terrain and winding creek from the clubhouse before you go out to practice your swings. Stone Fence Farms is part of the Vernon Hills Park District. Designed by the residents, this nearly-4-acre park offers a short walking path, a grass field, a playground for kids aged 5 to 12, and a pergola for a photogenic view!
What We Love Most
