Summary:

Located in Willowbrook, Illinois on 72 beautifully landscaped acres, Lake Hinsdale Village was designed in 1968 as a Green Community. The campus includes 35 acres of open space displaying an extensive variety of mature trees and numerous flower beds. The 11-acre man-made lake winds its way throughout the landscape. In addition to the 164 two- and three-bedroom townhomes, homeowners can choose among 375 one-, two- or three-bedroom condominium units. Each of the seven mid-rise condo buildings has elevators, heated underground parking as well as ample visitor parking lots.

A cornerstone for community activities, the LHV clubhouse has three levels, occupying 10,000 square feet. It features beamed cathedral ceilings, lounges, a kitchen and bar, fireplaces, reading area, and a game room with a pool table among its amenities. The lower level includes men's and women's locker rooms with access to the pool area and conveniently located near the exercise room. Residents enjoy the outdoor swimming pool from Memorial Day to Labor Day, as well as social and recreation activities which are held inside the Clubhouse and on the outside patio areas.

If outdoor activity is what you're looking for, in addition to the swimming pool, LHV has a private perimeter road that homeowners use for jogging, biking, and dog walking. Or perhaps a stroll around the lake bank is more your style. Tennis courts, pickleball courts and a playground provide the necessary areas for additional recreation. Paddleboats are available at the clubhouse pier for those who prefer a lazy outing on the lake and catch and release fishing is permitted for residents.
