Heritage Harbor Brings it All Together

Heritage Harbor has embraced the lessons of the past to create a sense of place. Ours is a tightly-knit, mixed-use neighborhood nestled in an intact community and a setting of great natural beauty – and has been enhanced with world-class quality, amenities and resources.

Heritage Harbor is being developed in the traditions of America's finest resort communities. Here, quality of life is not measured just in amenities, but in the careful balance of private and public spaces, the integration of nature, and the focus on family and community. Heritage Harbor gives you more to do, and more time to spend with your family.

Community Features

It’s no wonder Ottawa has embraced Heritage Harbor. By maintaining its commitment to environment, history and community, Ottawa has avoided the unsustainable path of other communities by resisting big box stores, suburban sprawl and economic dislocation.

Whether you prefer to launch or to lunch, the marina services at Heritage Harbor make it a breeze. With 460 slips, dry stacking, experienced mechanics, and a ship's store, this full-service marina can have your boat docked, stocked and river-ready when you are.

The I&M Canal National Historic Corridor, part of the US National Park Service, is a vital part of American history. It combines a collection of state and local parks, historic sites and museums into a 61-mile attraction with paths for hiking, biking, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. With trail access just across the street from our main entrance, Heritage Harbor residents will be up close and personal with the history of Illinois and the Ottawa area.

For those days when you want to stay close to home, Harbor Town will be your destination for everything from shopping to coffee and ice cream to gourmet dining. Harbor Town even includes a sensational spa designed to bring you inner peace…and pamper you silly!

imageConservation Cove

This sheltered area is the perfect spot for an intimate view of Ottawa's wildlife. Here you're likely to see egrets and herons wading in the shallow water, and perhaps an eagle perched on a high branch. Even a giant white pelican, unmistakable with its 8 to 10-foot wingspread, might pause here on the way to its Canadian summer home.

imageHarbor Walk

Past the lights of Harbor Town and the sparkling Marina, through charming residential neighborhoods and along the shore to the sandy beach, the entire community will be linked by this wide, paved trail. Designed for walking and biking, the trail will also provide a place for neighbors to meet.
