Waukegan can be found at the northeastern most point of Illinois next to the Great Lakes. People like the fact that it is so close to the Wisconsin border, and it is also close to Chicago (just a thirty minute drive away). The populace is quite diverse and the rental housing accommodates middle and working class citizens. Waukegan has a wonderful sandy beach which many go to boat and swim in the summer. Try also browsing Chicago rental townhouses to expand the home rental search. Many will notice that Waukegan has many more single family homes and the multifamily unit rentals are a bit less expensive.
