La Grange, IL 5 rating By Anonymous ( Dec 10, 2019) I've lived in La Grange for almost 11 years, and I've loved all of them. There's a great sense of community and everything. You should definitely live here. ...Read More Read Less
La Grange IL is a Place I Would Recommend to Everyone! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in La Grange for the past 22 years has been just absolute perfection for us. After my husband retired we wanted to get out of the big city and enjoy some beautiful scenery and small-town life. La Grange is perfect, one of the best areas in Illinois. Everyone who comes here ...Read More says so. Some move here intending to stay just a few years, but more often than not they end up settling in and staying for a good long time!

Here in La Grange, you will find wonderful schools, a solid job market, impressively low crime rates, and some really awesome people who welcome everyone with open arms. People care about themselves and others, and they take pride in their homes and families.

We have some pretty interesting things to do for fun around these parts. There's the Chicago Prohibition Tours, The Brookfield Zoo, My personal favorite, the Chicago Pizza Tours, and my other favorite, psychic medium Susan Rowlen! I love to stop in for a visit with her occasionally, and yes, a reading as well! Read Less
