You need to be more specific. The county McHenry, or the town McHenry in McHenry county? The town McHenry is nice. As far as the county, stay away from Rockford. Most other areas of McHenry are pretty nice. Some more working class, some more expensive.

Actually, Rockford is in Winnebago county. Also, the OP specified "the city of mchenry."

I just moved here to Mchenry County, it's not so bad I moved here with my kids and my husband, my sister her kids and her husband the schools are wonderful, I just moved here from elgin IL. the section 8 in mchenry county has a short waiting list. My experience with the area is great so far, I've been here for almost a year now the kids love it, the schools are great I think it would be great if more minority families moved in there's about 4 other minority families on my block, 2 are hispanic, 1 is black and there is a young interracial couple about two blocks down. everyone i've met so far is very friendly. It's very inexpensive here, it's deffinately worth a try for anyone considering re-locating.
