Our North Shore location is perfect for commuting to work or relocating your business. The Village is one of the most beautiful and safest communities in the Chicagoland area and is truly a hidden gem. Go to our website www.bannockburn.org for more information. We would like to welcome you to visit the Village of Bannockburn and see for yourself. A hidden gem located 26 miles from downtown Chicago, nestled next to the well-known North Shore communities of Lake Forest and Highland Park, is the approximately 1,300- acre enclave of Bannockburn. Its founder, a native of Bannockburn, Scotland, set out nearly a century ago to create a village of “country estates.” The resulting Village of Bannockburn today has over 250 homes that sit on generous multi-acre lots, the largest of which are suitable for stabling horses. The Village of Bannockburn, with easy access to multiple highways (I- 94, IL-22, IL-43 and IL-41), offers businesses, both large and small, an excellent environment in which to start and/or grow. Village personnel are available to guide business owners through the process of joining this vibrant community. Bannockburn’s tax rates are very competitive with those of the surrounding communities.
