The Vernon Woods area generally encompasses the area south of Deerfield Road and West of Portwine Road, with a few exceptions: (a) lots on Arrowwood Trail and Ringland Road and (b) some houses on Deerfield Road between Juneberry Road and Portwine Road. (The plat of survey, bylaws, and other documents refer to the Vernon Woods area as the River Woods Subdivision. It's been long-called Vernon Woods, probably to honor an original settler and to avoid confusion with the Village of Riverwoods, of which it is a part.)
