About Winthrop Harbor
Winthrop Harbor (~6,700 residents) is a small lakefront village at the Illinois–Wisconsin line, best known as home to North Point Marina — the largest marina on the Great Lakes — and the northern unit of Illinois Beach State Park. Housing mixes lakefront and near-lake homes, subdivisions, and some rural-feeling pockets; prices run above neighboring Zion thanks to the marina and lake access.
