About Belvidere Park
Belvidere Park is a cooperative cottage club, founded in 1875 by families from Belvidere, Illinois.
Where it is: 400 block of North Lakeshore Dr, within Stearns & Gerould's Subdivision
Lake access
The association owns a lakefront parcel with 255 feet of frontage, and the cottages sit close to the water.
Amenities
The lakefront has a lawn with a brook. Some cottages may come with boat slip rights, and cottages may have year-round water and sewer service. Confirm both for each home.
Membership and dues
The co-op does not allow financing, so buyers must pay cash. Dues information is not published. Ask before you make an offer.

Belvidere Park rules
Not publishedBelvidere Park is not on the Village list of areas where vacation rental homes (VRH) are allowed by right. Because the cottages sit on association land, it is not clear whether tourist rooming house (TRH) licensing applies. The Village rental license list shows none here. No community rental rules were found.
