Antioch's affordability door — lake and dock access from under $200K
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Oakwood Knolls, west of Nelson Road and north of North Avenue, has been built out gradually from 1955 through the 2000s — so you'll find everything from 711-square-foot cottages to homes near 4,900 square feet on the same loops. What unites them: community lake access with boat dock and mooring options, parks, and some of the gentlest carrying costs in our whole coverage area (average taxes around $6,500).
This is where we send first-time buyers and downsizers who want the lake life without lake-life money. Four homes were listed at last check from $198,888 — in 2026, that price with water access nearby is nearly extinct.
Median recent sales around $280K with a range from $260K to $550K for the biggest updated homes. Entry listings under $200K appear a few times a year and move fast.
The original 1950s–60s core — small, honest, affordable.
Renovated homes pushing the $300Ks–$500Ks.
Dock and mooring options per community rules — ask us.
