About Royal Lakes

Tucked away in southern Macoupin County, Royal Lakes is a quiet community centered around three small lakes: Shad, Meshach, and Shadrach. Originally developed in the late 1950s as a weekend retreat, it has since grown into a relaxed, year-round residential neighborhood where folks enjoy peaceful waterfront living. It offers a laid-back rural setting with plenty of open space. Depending on which side of Julian Avenue you settle on, local students attend either the Bunker Hill or Southwestern school district.
