The Community
The Village of Mundelein is a suburban community of 30,000 people, located in the heart of Lake County, Illinois. Just 35 miles northwest of Chicago and 10 miles west of Lake Michigan, Mundelein lies between Chicago and Milwaukee, no more than a one hour drive from either. The community is well served by an excellent network of highways, including Interstate 94, Routes 45, 60, 176, and 83. This convenient location allows residents to take advantage of the tremendous job, educational, recreational, sports, and fine arts opportunities that both large cities have to offer. O'Hare International airport and Milwaukee's Mitchell Field are both less than an hour drive, and offer a true gateway to the world. Commuters to Chicago's Loop have three train systems to choose from, including Metra's North Central line with service to and from Mundelein.
Mundelein values family and education, as evidenced by National Blue Ribbon awards at the elementary and high school levels, and in the strength of parent involvement in educational and community issues. The community is served by one public high school district, Mundelein High School District 120, and four public elementary school districts: Elementary District 75, Fremont District 79, Diamond Lake District 76 and Hawthorn District 73. Two parochial grade schools and one Catholic high school are also located in Mundelein. The University of St. Mary of the Lake Seminary makes its home on a beautiful campus in Mundelein, and the College of Lake County, is located in neighboring Grayslake. National universities, including Northwestern, Marquette, DePaul, Trinity International University, Lake Forest College, Northern Illinois, IIT, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois – Chicago Circle campus are also located within a reasonable driving distance.
