Hawthorn Woods, Illinois is located in Lake County about 40 Miles Northwest of Chicago.   If you are driving on the toll way from Chicago to Hawthorn Woods, you would exit off of Route 22 and head west. Hawthorn Woods is approximately 45 minutes without any traffic to Chicago's downtown and with traffic, your guess is a good as mine.  Hawthorn Woods is bordered by Long Grove on the east and southeast, Kildeer on the south, Lake Zurich on the southwest, and North Barrington on the west. The village covers an area of approximately 5.4 square miles, with approximately 3000 homes and is predominately a residential community.

The Hawthorn Woods Aquatic Center located at the corner of Midlothian and Marilyn Lane is a fun and refreshing place to spend the day in the middle of Chicago's hot summer. Last year our family had a spectacular time at this newly established aquatic center enjoying all the wonderful water slides. The Hawthorn Woods Aquatic Center  is also a fantastic place swim laps or take swimming lessons.
