Having lived in the town for more than ten years at this point, La Grange is a very diverse community with lots of places to explore and see. Along La Grange road you can find various high rated restaurants and boutique shops, along with regulars like Starbucks and Mc'Donalds. If that isn't interesting enough, every year the town has multiple events, such as the widely known Pet Parade, and the two Summer Festivals that accompany it. The parks around the area are also renowned for their inclusivity and overall beauty. The public schools in La Grange are some of the best in the area, considering the high amount of extracurricular activities and subjects that they offer. The only gripe I would have is the fact that the rent is somewhat high and the local real estate market has over-inflated prices.
My fondest memories growing up the past twenty years in this suburban community have been all I could ever been given to succeed. From top-ranked public schooling that gave my family intellectual and financial stability was a major relief to living our lives consciously. This blue collar farming community rose from the bottom since it’s beginning in 1879, brining innovation and promise to our local downtown and historic housing district. The timeless and gracious presence of these structures reminds our these residents the accomplishment that came from the people who wanted to make this the place for anyone to live. I was always sprawled with acquaintances throughout local organizations like La Grange Little League, which provided a hobby that would connect me to individuals that I still talk to.
Love LaGrange and the many things that it has to offer! The downtown area is beautiful and has many popular restaurants and things to keep busy. The safety is immaculate and the shops are adorable! I really like the people in this community as well. They are all very nice and helpful.
