I am thinking of relocating to Forest Lake which is a part of Lake Zurich. I have found a home that I love there but do not know anything about the city.

What are the pros and cons of Lake Zurich?

How is the local shopping and the growth of the city?

Any advise would help me make my decision whether to buy a home there.

Thanks

Lake Zurich is a nice, safe, town (not by any stretch of the imagination is it a city) I am not familiar with Forest Lake, maybe someone else can chime in on that. Shopping is plentiful and what you dont find there will be a short drive away. Some nice restaurants as well. The "downtown" core is very small, located near the lake,with some older buildings. There are several strip malls, big box stores etc. I have never heard of any "bad" areas there. Lake Zurich is a usable lake with a busy beach area for locals. They have summer festivals and a really nice newer YMCA with great programs for kids.
Cons? Rt 12 (Rand road) gets rather busy with traffic at times, but nothing like a city.
