Harmony offers wide-open skies, quiet roads, and a close-knit rhythm in McHenry County, with quick connections to Marengo, Huntley, and Union. You get a rural feel with everyday conveniences within easy reach.
Weekends skew outdoorsy. Hikers, birders, and snow-day sledders head for the oak-and-hickory ridges at Marengo Ridge Conservation Area, and maple lovers celebrate spring at Coral Woods Conservation Area—both cared for by the McHenry County Conservation District. Rail history buffs find a destination close by at the Illinois Railway Museum, where vintage trains and trolleys roll on scheduled rides and exhibits span more than a century of transportation.
Families appreciate strong education options nearby. Huntley Community School District 158 offers modern facilities, extensive extracurriculars, and well-regarded academics, while Marengo Community High School provides small-school spirit with competitive programs. Lifelong learners can upskill or pivot careers at McHenry County College, known for workforce credentials, transfer pathways, and community programming.
Commuters benefit from the Illinois Tollway I‑90 corridor just south of town and convenient Metra access via the UP‑NW line from nearby Woodstock. That balance—easygoing weekdays and restorative weekends—makes Harmony a rewarding place to put down roots.
