There is something different here. It’s an unparalleled sense of community among those who call this special place “home.” Enjoy a stroll down the nature trail along the community’s lakes; take your kids to the refreshing splash water park; work out at the fitness center; or play in one of the many parks and playgrounds in the community. Highlighting the community is the extensive Owners Club, featuring a fitness center, water park, courts for basketball, tennis and sand volleyball and a clubhouse. Central Community Unit School District 301's Country Trails Elementary School is located in the heart of the community. Highland Woods is strategically located minutes from the I-90/Randall Road corridor in Elgin's new far west area.
