City - Freeport

Freeport is located just over 100 miles from the coast of Lake Michigan, on the shores of the humble Pecatonica River. Encompassing nearly 12 square miles, Freeport is the county seat of Stephenson County and holds the unofficial title of “Pretzel City, USA.”

The streets of Freeport are shaded with towering trees, making for a vibrant landscape that surrounds the venerable homes and apartment complexes in the city. Landscaping and recreation are a big part of the city’s identity. Krape Park has been highly awarded by the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association, and there are six more outdoor spaces to enjoy in the city.

Freeport citizens are passionate about their town. Many of them have moved from larger cities around the Great Lakes area and heap praise on Freeport for its affordable price point. Top-notch restaurants, bars, and bakeries are all around, adorning parks and providing diners with riverfront views.
