Local Interest

By now most everyone has noticed the first 20 of 40 planned Somerset Townhomes that have been completed in downtown Lake Zurich. The award-winning designs, along with the rest of the downtown revitalization plans, expertly capture the lakeside resort look of Lake Zurich's past.

However, if you're yearning for more — for a lakeside resort-like experience (not just the look) — you're in for a treat! A newly constructed restaurant and marina called Lindy's Landing has been built right on the shore of Bangs Lake in Wauconda. Just 10 minutes from Braemar, it comes complete with an outdoor dining deck and bar right on the shore for casual meals, drinks, and live music — a place where your small kids can play in the sand or water directly off the deck while you leisurely enjoy your meal and view of the lake. It also has an elegant new indoor dining facility with another more formal lakeside deck for year-round dining and fun. Finally, it includes a small marina (slips provided for an annual fee) where you can park and launch your powerboat and enjoy all that the lake has to offer.

So if you're looking for a waterfront experience that's close to home, Lindy's Landing may be just the right place to satisfy your desires.
