Lincolnshire

Overview

Historic Lincolnshire has come a long way since its official start in 1957. Once a home to Potawatomie Indians, this thriving suburb of Chicago still has a traditional spirit about it. The bustling nature of this community is helped along by its location alongside I-94, a main transportation artery between Chicago and Milwaukee, Wisc. Today, modern restaurants ranging from American-style eateries to quality sushi joints are just a few of the options for those looking to spend a day the Lincolnshire way.

Shopping

The Village Green center, with several restaurants and boutique shops, has seasonal festivities ranging from outdoor concerts in summer to a tree-lighting ceremony in winter. At nearby, newly developed City Park, there’s a 20-screen movie theater, an array of both casual and upscale restaurants and specialty stores.

Dining/Nightlife

Many old favorites have made a home here, including home-style breakfast spots and cutting-edge fine-dining. For steaks and chops, Chicago-area staples like Wildfire are among your options.

Culture & Attractions

Lincolnshire’s Spring Lake Park has tennis and basketball courts, baseball diamond, a playground, picnic area, and manmade life-guarded beach. Looking for some high culture? Visit the Marriott Lincolnshire Resort for one of their fabulous, renowned professional theatrical productions at The Marriott Theater.

The Down Low

This is a suburban community with deep urban roots. Sophisticated and hospitable at the same time, residents here are welcoming of visitors for the most part--once you're not slowing them down on the expressway, at least.
