Selling a house in Round Lake Park
Round Lake Park is a village of about 7,700 people in central Lake County, along the south side of Round Lake. Round Lake Beach is across the lake to the north, the village of Round Lake is to the west, Hainesville is to the southwest and Grayslake is to the east. Route 120 (Belvidere Road) runs along the south side of town, and Pace buses run to Fox Lake and Grayslake. The Round Lake Beach Metra station on the North Central Service is a short drive away.
The village has grown in stages. It counted about 1,800 people in 1950 and about 4,000 by 1980, held level through the 1980s, then added about 3,500 more residents between 1990 and 2010 as new houses went up. It had about 3,300 housing units in 2020.
That history shows in the housing. Older, smaller homes are found closer to the lake, in areas such as Renehan Beach. Ranches and split-levels from the post-war decades fill many blocks, and the growth of the 1990s and 2000s added neighborhoods like Lakeview Estates and The Willows at Greenwood.
If your Round Lake Park house is updated, an agent may be able to sell it for more than we’d pay. A cash sale is often a better fit for a house with repairs an occupancy inspector might flag, a rental with tenants, an inherited place, or a home that has to sell by a certain date. We’ll tell you plainly which way looks better for your house.
What to expect
Give us a call, and a cash offer from us is waiting within 24 hours. We see the house once and go over our pricing line by line. You choose the closing date. Closing takes place with a Lake County title company, and the normal closing costs are on us.
What to know before you sell in Round Lake Park
- No village transfer tax. Both title industry charts list no Round Lake Park transfer tax. When we buy, the Illinois and Lake County stamps on your deed are paid by us.
- Occupancy inspection. The village requires an occupancy inspection every time there’s a change in residence. The fee is $75, and it must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead.
- Final water reading. A final water reading is required before closing. The title company orders it and pays the last bill.
- Taxes a year behind. Round Lake Park owners pay Lake County a year behind. On your closing statement, the buyer gets a credit for this year up to the closing date, taken from the sale.
- Probate. Estate cases for Round Lake Park homes are heard at the Lake County courthouse in Waukegan. An executor’s signature can come first, with closing after the court’s approval.
- Associations. Where there’s a homeowners association, the title file needs its paid-assessment letter, and dues owed come off the closing statement.
The village can change its requirements, and the village may revise them. We take care of what’s needed.

What the occupancy inspection means for your sale
Round Lake Park requires an occupancy inspection each time a home changes residents. The fee is $75, and you need to schedule at least 24 hours in advance. The inspection checks for code issues that need to be corrected.
If you list, any repairs it turns up usually fall to you before closing. On a sale to us, we book the inspection, go over the report with you, and sort out repairs with the village. Nothing has to be fixed on your end first.
