Lake Zurich Illinois: A Great Place for Families 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) My family and I valued our experiences while living in Lake Zurich Illinois. The city is a smaller segment of Chicago and is named for its lake. It is a great place to raise families. I have confidence in the school system there. They have very good teachers and solid scholastic ...Read More programs. The job market is fervent, and housing costs are moderate. Homes are conveniently located throughout the city. There is a lot to do in Lake Zurich. The town hosts events year-round that are relevant to the entire family. Lake Zurich has moderate weather, giving way to colder temperatures during winter, but other seasons are perfect in climate.

The living expenses there are fairly low, which is great for families of any size. Crime rates are extremely low, it is a community that reinforces safety. Neighbors are socially connected and demonstrate a united front. Some of the best areas in Lake Zurich surround the downtown district. Many festivals are held here, and the central space offers plenty of fine dining and shopping. Read Less
