While I really like Grayslake, the taxes are a bit crazy. (3.83%...) (http://www.villageofgrayslake.com/econ/ma_ptaxrates.html - broken link)

We're considering a house for between high 2s to mid 350k, and the taxes are between 7k and 9k!!!

I have to tell you that while it's tempting to think of sitting on a beach in February rather than shoveling out a driveway, I can't think of a better area to raise a family than the Chicago area.

Best of luck to you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Think really hard about your move to Broward County. I just moved to Chicago from there. While it a fun place to visit, it can be a difficult place to live. The people are not friendly. Crime is very high compared to the Chicago burbs..The beaches are wonderful, as well as the Everglades...I wish you luck
