Roscoe, Illinois - A Great Place to Live! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Living in Roscoe, Illinois is truly a unique experience! This is a smaller town, but we are very close to Rockford, Chicago is only about a 45 minute drive and Milwaukee is about an hour away in a different direction, so we really have the best of both world living here! Small to ...Read More wn life with plenty of privacy but close enough to the bigger cities, their entertainment and excited to behold if we want to!

People in this community are helpful and friendly, and that's one of the main reasons I decided to put down roots here. And there are quite a few different things to do right here in town. We have a symphony, museum, street festivals, parades, parks, swimming, the list is endless of the possibilities for different things to do.

My favorite is just going to the park and having a leisurely stroll enjoying nature and the quiet especially after dinner around dusk but before it has gotten dark outside. I love it! Read Less
