Grayslake is a great place for new families! As a current resident, Grayslake has lots to offer for children and adults alike. The school systems in the area are some of the best in Lake County and there are many activities for children to do such as dance, martial arts, and sports clubs. As for adults, the downtown area is perfect for the weekends with its updated bars and restaurants. The community also provides holiday celebrations year-round.
I love Grayslake. The people are so kind here and we all rally like a community for a multitude of events. I've lived here my entire life. I am not a fan of the snow, but that just comes with living in Northern Chicago. I want to see our taxes lower. Because the public schools can't manage their money, it is forces our property taxes to increase. I am homeschooled and yet we still have to pay taxes for a school that I don't even attend! Why should we have to pay for other people's education on top of our own? The taxes in our county are astronomical and they put an extra tax on food and gas. I believe that Grayslake is a great place to live if you're an established family that has a steady income that can support the high cost of living here. But if you're young and may not make as much, it will be incredibly difficult to live here financially.
Grayslake has a lot to offer in education with a middle school, two high schools, and a community college. It also has a few parks to take a stroll through and a small downtown area to grab food and drinks. Fred's Diner has awesome breakfast and is well worth the wait, and The Vine has delicious martinis! Grayslake is a very safe area that offers a great community to be a part of.
