Waterfront property in Plainfield?
Yes, the far southwest suburb is the home of 143-acre Walloon Lake. A housing development called the Lakelands is being built along the more than four miles of shoreline.
When completed, the community will include 210 residences, most with water views. The vacation lifestyle includes boating, sailing, fishing and swimming. Four islands have been created as a refuge for wildlife, including migratory birds. A new wooden covered bridge has been built to connect two areas of the lake.

New at the Lakelands are plans to build 32 Beach Houses, which are maintenance-free single-family homes that range in size from 2,193 to more than 5,000 square feet and in price from $412,850 to $483,750.
Among the standard features in the three floor plans are walkout lake levels, first-floor master suites, fireplaces, and decks overlooking either the lake or woods. They have private back yards and a common beach. Three-car garages are optional.
A model of the Sovereign, the largest Beach House, is under construction and is expected to be completed in January.
Also available at the Lakelands–which is being developed by Gerald Clark and Nancy Sertich-Kennedy–are 23 Harbor Townes, which are two-floor plans ranging from 1,395 to more than 3,200 square feet and priced from the mid-$300,000s. In addition, 20 waterfront lots range from $127,900 to $229,900.
More than 70 percent of the development is water, wetlands or open space, according to the developer.
The Lakelands is on Naperville-Plainfield Road, just south of 127th Street and north of downtown Plainfield.
