History
In the 1920's, Judge
Walter J. LaBuy purchased 473 acres of farmland from Arthur E. Diercks, an
Algonquin real estate and insurance man. The Judge built a home for each of his
children and his wife. Known as the "stucco" houses, only one remains in almost
its original condition as the others have had numerous additions. The five
houses are located along the Indian Trail.
Originally most of the early homes built in
Lake in the Hills were summer homes. Judge LaBuy is credited for planting the
many pines and oak trees that are now so attractive to home buyers. Woods Creek
was not far from the stucco homes. Through the Judge's efforts, the creek was
dammed up, creating Lake In The Hills in 1923. Today's lake is not the
original. It was enlarged in later years. In 1961, Platt deeded over the lake
property to the Lake In The Hills Property Owners Association.

Bargain Properties >Get Rich Quick with Real Estate
You see them on cable TV, sitting around a swimming pool, sharing stories about how they got rich quick by buying valuable real estate for give-away prices. They took a course on how to invest in real estate and became millionaires overnight--with nothing down and no credit hassles from mortgage lenders. The course worked for them, and they say it will work for you, too.
If all this sounds too good to be true--it is! These "get-rich-quick" courses and schemes are being investigated by consumer fraud agencies around the country. This does not mean that you can't become a millionaire by investing in real estate. But investing in real estate requires one important thing from you--an investment of cash. You can't build an empire overnight, but you can do very well over the long term by selecting property in a good location that is priced well, and which can provide a reasonable cash flow.
