Hello! Welcome to the Channel Lake Bluffs Association, commonly known as CLBA,
a subdivision on Channel Lake, in unincorporated Antioch, Illinois.
It is bordered by Lake Ave to the West, Prospect Ave to the North, Woodbine Ave to the East and Grapevine Ave to the South.
Nestled between the 110+ homes and several lots are four fabulous “common” areas within CLBA that are a valuable asset to your home:
- A beautiful beach area in a park-like setting located at the east end of Grapevine Avenue on Channel Lake.
- A boat launch area with piers on the northside of Prospect Avenue (midway down the street) that leads directly out to the north end of Channel Lake, accessible to members in good standing.
- A walking path among residential homes that allows you a shortcut between Grapevine Avenue to Prospect Avenue. It is located slightly east of the boat launch area on the south side of Prospect Avenue.
We treat our Association as a business and as such, we have a minimal annual fee for each lot and house. Those monies go toward insurance, landscaping & general upkeep of the common areas, public street lighting, printing & mailings and an accountant.
