I have lived in Algonquin Illinois for 18 years, since I was born. I always felt very safe and protected here. The community is very friendly, everybody knows each other here, and rely on each other for help. There are many families here, with little children, and the kids all play with each other outside during the warmer seasons. All schools are very close, all my schools have been within a 15 minute radius. There is an outdoor shopping mall called the "Algonquin Commons" just five minutes away. There are grocery stores, and almost everything you need within a 10 minute radius. The place is very beautiful and clean.
I have never had a bad experience living in Algonquin. Every school I have attended has been above and beyond amazing, as well as always feeling safe going out and playing outside as a kid. The people in this town are always friendly, and its a great place to live!
I have lived in Algonquin since 1996, owned 2 homes and raised 2 kids through the school system here through to graduation. They are currently both in college on full scholarships. This area is a great community, excellent schools and plenty of shopping, restaurants, parks, facilities and a beautiful downtown. There’s nowhere I would rather live.
