Lakeside suburban living in Round Lake Park
Along the shoreline of Round Lake, Round Lake Park is a resort town that's turned into a residential haven. When the Village was first developed, most people bought summer homes, but people started settling in year-round around the 40s and 50s. Today, Round Lake Park still attracts people looking to live close to the lake and participate in other recreational activities nearby while maintaining a longstanding community of residents. “Locals who grew up here have been reinvesting in the community by buying and renovating some of the area’s more run-down homes,” says broker Ivonne Payes with Payes Homes. “People here really care about the community and want to see it succeed.”
Wakeboarding and water skiing on Round Lake
Residents living along Round Lake simply step into their backyards to access the shoreline. Watersports are popular here, so residents might see their neighbors out water skiing or wakeboarding as they set up their line to go fishing. While many in the community doesn’t don’t live along the shoreline, the Alpine Country Club’s 35-slip marina offers another spot for members to keep their watercraft. The club features a private beach where kids can build sandcastles as groups play sand volleyball. The residential portion of Round Lake Park also offers neighborhood parks within walking distance of homes. Cranberry Lake Park has a playground for kids and soccer and football fields often used by local clubs and leagues. The 1.7-mile walking trail is lined with fitness stations and circles the lake.
Lakefront Park has a beach and marked off swim area to access Round Lake.
Lakefront Park on the northwest side of Round Lake is a perfect place to kayak.

Private docks along the lake and colorful flower gardens
Round Lake Park’s housing is split into two distinct groups. On the northern side, narrow streets are lined with Cape Cods, bungalows and ranch-style homes. While yards are often just a small square of grass, homeowners make it their own with colorful and carefully maintained flower gardens. Along East Lake Shore Drive, homes overlook Round Lake, often with their own private docks. Those on the opposite side of the thoroughfare sit on a small hill, so residents still have views of the lake.
The southern side of the community is Saddlebrook Farms—a 55+ manufactured bungalow and ranch-style homes community. While farther from Round Lake itself, Saddlebrook Farms has its own lakes throughout the neighborhood, so residents can live along the water and walk into their backyards to fish from the stocked waters. The clubhouse at the center of the community offers social clubs where residents can connect with their neighbors and the fitness center with bocce ball courts. Across both sides of the community, homes typically sell between $250,000 and $450,000, but those along Round Lake’s shoreline represent the higher end of the range.
Homes along Lake Shore Drive have their own private docks and lake access in Round Lake Park.

A Brazilian cafe and Japanese ramen along Main Street
Main Street bisects Round Lake Park, lined with various restaurants. Cafezinho at Main Street brings Brazilian snack foods to the area, with favorites like pao de queijo, or cheese bread. While the inside is decorated with signs and art, many visitors like to sit on the back patio on nice days. On Twisted Burger’s outdoor patio, visitors can order burgers with toppings such as a fried egg or mac and cheese. They also offer special shakes with pancakes or donuts sticking out of them.
