A Message from the TLIA President

Welcome to Tower Lakes

Dear Residents and Visitors,

Welcome to Tower Lakes—a unique and vibrant community nestled in the heart of Lake County, Illinois. Our village, encompassing just over one square mile, is home to approximately 1,226 residents who cherish the natural beauty and close-knit atmosphere that define our community.

Tower Lakes is renowned for its two pristine lakes, rolling hills, and lush woodlands, offering a picturesque setting for all to enjoy. Our residents take pride in maintaining this environment, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.

Community engagement is the cornerstone of life in Tower Lakes. Throughout the year, neighbors come together for a variety of events organized by the Tower Lakes Improvement Association (TLIA), including winter gatherings, the spring Progressive Dinner, our multi-day Fourth of July celebration, and the autumn Chili Cook-Off. These traditions not only provide entertainment but also strengthen the bonds among residents.

Education is a priority for our community. Tower Lakes falls within the esteemed Barrington Community Unit School District 220, known for its high academic standards and commitment to student success. Our children attend North Barrington School, located less than a mile from the village, ensuring quality education is just a short distance away.

We are excited to share that our newly redesigned website is now live, offering a user-friendly experience across all devices. Residents can easily access newsletters, event calendars, and important announcements, ensuring everyone stays informed and connected. To receive timely updates, we encourage you to subscribe to our e-Notifications.
