Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Vernon Hills offers a mix of established neighborhoods, planned communities, and retail-centered districts, giving renters several distinct areas to consider. Three neighborhoods stand out for location, amenities, and overall appeal:

Hawthorn and Mellody Farm District
The village's retail core sits where Milwaukee Avenue meets Townline Road, anchored by Hawthorn Mall, Mellody Farm, and most of the area's dining. The Majestic sits just north on Museum Boulevard, close enough that both centers are a walk rather than a drive.
 
Gregg's Landing
Built on roughly 813 acres of the former Cuneo estate at the north end of the village, Gregg's Landing is a planned community of about 1,300 homes across 20 neighborhoods. The 240-acre White Deer Run Golf Club anchors its center, with home construction dating back to around 1997.
 
Century Park Area
West of Milwaukee Avenue, this part of the village wraps around Century Park and its two large lakes. The park earned Arboretum accreditation in 2017, a first for an Illinois park district, and it hosts the Vernon Hills Days festival each July.

Ideal Location
Residents of The Majestic have easy access to Vernon Hills' major shopping destinations, with Hawthorn Mall and Mellody Farm located just a few hundred yards apart. The village serves as a shopping destination for much of southern Lake County, and Mellody Farm combines Whole Foods with specialty retailers and restaurants.
 
Outdoor Adventures
Outdoor recreation is close to home at Half Day Forest Preserve, where residents can enjoy three picnic shelters, open playfields, and a stocked three-acre fishing pond along a mile-long trail. A footbridge over the Des Plaines River connects the preserve to Wright Woods Forest Preserve, with the Des Plaines River Trail running through both.
 
Premium Living
The Majestic's renovated homes bring quartz countertops, nine-foot ceilings, and custom walk-in closets to everyday living, while the reimagined clubhouse pairs a heated garage and smart locks with a 24/7 fitness center and dedicated Peloton studio.
 
Local Community
Vernon Hills' planned neighborhoods, including the roughly 1,300-home Gregg's Landing built around White Deer Run Golf Club, give the village a settled, family-oriented character that comes to life each July at the Vernon Hills Days festival in Century Park.

From The Majestic on Museum Boulevard, both the village retail core and the Des Plaines River corridor are just minutes away. Popular spots nearby include:

  • Mellody Farm
  • Hawthorn Mall
  • AMC Hawthorn 12
  • Turtle Creek Waterpark
  • Half Day Forest Preserve
  • Des Plaines River Trail
  • Century Park

With Hawthorn Mall and Mellody Farm both within walking distance of the property, residents can easily enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment close to home.

The Majestic sits about two miles from the Vernon Hills Metra station on the North Central Service line, a 35.7-mile ride to Chicago Union Station on a weekday-only schedule of seven departures each direction. Drivers reach downtown Chicago via Interstate 94, roughly three miles east of the village, and O'Hare International Airport in under 25 minutes. Major employers in the village, across Lake County, and in Chicago include:

  • CDW (headquartered in Vernon Hills)

With major employers spread throughout Vernon Hills, Lake County, and Chicago, The Majestic offers convenient access to both nearby job centers and downtown opportunities by car or rail.

Amenities at The Majestic are thoughtfully designed around everyday comfort, convenience, and recreation, with these key features standing out:

Heated Garage Parking and Smart Locks
A heated parking garage removes the scraping and shoveling that a northern Illinois winter usually requires. Smart locks and Nest thermostats handle entry and climate from a phone, and the 24/7 Luxer One system holds packages until you are back.
 
Peloton Bike Studio and a 24/7 Fitness Center
The fitness center and weight room stay open around the clock, with a separate Peloton bike studio and a private yoga studio for residents who would rather train alone. All three sit inside the reimagined clubhouse alongside a cafe with complimentary coffee.
 
Community Garden, Putting Green, and Pool Plaza
Grow your own herbs and vegetables in the community garden, then enjoy the putting green, bag toss courts, and ping pong tables. Warm afternoons center on the outdoor pool plaza and sun deck, and evenings move to the alfresco lounge, the fire pit, or the outdoor movie screen.
 
Hammock Haven, Bench Swings, and 16.5 Acres of Open Space
The Majestic sits on 16.5 acres bordering Cuneo Gardens and Arbors, giving the community a peaceful, nature-preserve feel, with a Hammock Haven and bench swings made for slowing down. A 2/3 mile trail wraps around the property, perfect for jogging or getting your steps in, right outside your front door.
 
Quartz, Nine-Foot Ceilings, and Walk-In Closets
Renovated homes pair white quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances with white shaker-style cabinetry and wood-style plank flooring. Nine-foot ceilings, custom walk-in closets, and a full-size in-home washer and dryer come standard, and many homes also feature a private balcony, with noise-reduced construction keeping things quiet.
