It's a small town with numerous businesses and sites all around. I have resided here for around 11 years and there isn't much violence that goes on. The safety of this town is decent. I would recommend living here if you wanted to settle down and go boating on the weekends with your kids. It's a water-surrounded town, it's part of the Chain-O'-Lakes.
I have lived in this town for many years. foxtucky is best to describe the stereotypical profile of the people that live here. Of course there are those that do not fit that profile but a lot do. More so the ones that live all year round in the once strictly only vacation homes that were used by Chicagoans in the 50-60s.
Chevy, fords, and boats. Straggly hair, lower educated, and bars everywhere.
Is what fox lake is.
There are nice things here mainly the fact that you live right by the lake and the nature is great. Schools are not that great. Elementary school rating a C.
I am always shocked to hear what my kid tells me about his "friends" in school.
We took forever to finally get back to normal school Post covid.
Best places to live would be in volo which is weaves in and out of fox lake.
The only reason you live in Fox lake is if you like boating and fishing.

Nice, small town. I would like to see the shopping experience at Fox Lake improve. There is a marked lack of restaurants that would really open the town up to more local tourism.
