Libertyville sits about 40 miles north of Chicago, carrying the easy confidence of a well-established village that never forgot its small-town roots. The city's downtown along Milwaukee Avenue draws people in with its walkable stretch of locally owned shops, specialty boutiques, and a weekend farmers' market that has been a community staple for years. The village earned a notable place in history as the former burial site of Peter II of Yugoslavia, once the only European monarch laid to rest on American soil. College of Lake County and Lake Forest College are both within a short drive, adding an educational presence to the broader area.
The housing mix here reflects the character of the community itself: tree-lined streets with classic Craftsman and Colonial-style single-family homes sit alongside well-kept townhome communities and apartment communities ranging from garden-style buildings to updated mid-rise options.
