Westlake Village, IL

Westlake Village is a Winnebago County census-designated place spread across southeastern Pecatonica Township, with a small section in Burritt Township. It sits about five miles northwest of Winnebago and eleven miles west-northwest of Rockford, built around a golf course and a small reservoir on Coolidge Creek. The golf course, reservoir, and township roads supply the local map, with Winnebago serving as the nearest village center and Rockford as the larger regional connection.

Pecatonica Community Unit School District 321 serves Westlake Village from campuses in nearby Pecatonica, where the district maintains elementary, middle, and high schools and hosts sports and activities throughout the school year. The Lynx Golf Course on Westlake Village Drive is an 18-hole, par-71 course open to the public during the season, giving the community a shared facility beyond its residential streets. Westlake Village is organized around a designed landscape: homes and roads spread around Coolidge Creek's reservoir, with golf and school ties linking it to the towns around it.
