The Winnebago and Ogle County area is a great place to live with more than 7,000 acres of parks and the Rock River winding through it. The area’s communities are not only known for their abundance of beautiful parklands and gardens, but also their rich cultural and recreational opportunities, encompassing museums, a variety of ethnic restaurants, auto racing, and cross-country skiing.
Sports Illustrated recently recognized Rockford as one of the country’s best sports towns for its myriad of amateur sports activities, including golfing, softball, soccer, ice-skating, and water skiing. The area is also home to more than 25 public and eight private golf courses.
The Rockford area and Ogle Country also are economic centers of the manufacturing and the healthcare industry. The Rockford Airport also is growing to serve the area’s growing transportation needs. The towns found through much of both counties have that small town feel, yet are close to Rockford , which has numerous opportunities for work, doctors, shopping, and entertainment. Ogle County also has some of the lowest real estate taxes as well as some of the best schools in Illinois . |
