Situated on the beautiful Rolling Rock River in the northern part of Illinois just 10 miles south of the Wisconsin border, is the Village of Machesney Park. The village is about 1 hour and 45 minutes northwest from Chicago, 1 hour from Madison, and about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Milwaukee. Machesney Park has a population of approximately 23,000 people.

Machesney Park has a thriving commercial and industrial sector that fuels its strong economy. The village is home to one of the fastest growing corridors in the state of Illinois that supports a wide range of retail businesses from small independents to large bigbox chains. This growth has been attributed to the fact that the Village does not levy a property tax, and has an abundance of affordable building sites.

The Village's school district has a reputation as one of the finest in the state. The village is home to 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, as well as the Altamore School of Cosmetology.

The Machesney Park area boasts an abundant number of trails that makes it possible to travel throughout the Rockford metro area. Located close by is the supurb Rock Cut State Park, a premiere state facility with more than 3,000 acres of wilderness. The site has two lakes, Pierce Lake and Olson Lake that are one the favorite places for anglers all over the state.
