The suburbs along the lake from Lake Bluff to Wilmette offer the highest priced real estate and some of the best schools in the country. This is CEO and senior partner territory.
If you look at the same area but immediately west you'll find a little more affordable housing and very comparable schools. These towns include Libertyville, Deerfield, Glenview, Northbrook and Lincolnshire. Senior managers and professionals are abundant.
Just west of this ring is Gurnee, Grayslake and Mundelien. You'll find a lot of mid management types from All-State, Abbot and Motorola living here. Decent schools. You'll have about a 30 minute commute to LF.
The next geographic areas are Lake Villa, Lindenhurst and Antioch, comparable to the last aforementioned, but obviously a longer trek to LF. Much more affordable housing and very decent schools.
I would avoid Round Lake, North Chicago, Waukegan, Winthrop Harbor and Zion. Higher crime rates and lots of gang activities. Very poor schools.
