I live at the border of two cities: Elgin and Hoffman Estates. Although they are neighboring towns, it seems as though they’re worlds apart. Hoffman Estates is a relatively new town that is constantly being innovated and Elgin is an older town that has been there since the 1800s. What I like about Hoffman Estates is the feeling of safety in my neighborhood. After hearing stories of gang-affiliation and drugs in Elgin neighborhoods, I enjoy coming home and feeling as though I am protected. I wouldn’t want to change anything about Hoffman Estates because it’s constantly being changed already. There are annual innovations being made to make it a better city than it already is. I love my city.
The town of Hoffman Estates is a fairly safe and nice place to live, although being located in Cook County does bring up the taxes quite a bit. However, the area is a very great place for kids to go to high school since they provide a great education and access to a variety of clubs, sports, jobs, activities, etc. The town also has a lot of great things nearby for the future of people ranging from all ages.
The town is very pleasant to live in. Not much crime, the education district 211 is highly appraised and the job force is also excellent. Property taxes are higher than in other areas and there are occasional issues with construction. This is a good town to live in if you have a family, not the place for nightlife. The town is clean, no trash alongside the roads. A very diverse area, every house is different and it adds to the beauty of the city.
