Long Grove Reviews

5 reviews
All Categories
This town is quite historic, people from all over come to visit it during all of the seasonal festivals. The town is very into decorating for all of the holidays and festivities. It is quant and wants to remain a historical town rather an upgraded town. The food places are very good and the shops are cute - slightly overpriced. The residents are all friendly and welcoming. It is very safe yet still close to other major stores like grocery stores and pharmacies.
Review Long Grove
Be careful as to what subdivision you purchase in. Just because you live in Long Grove and pay the ridiculous taxes doesn't mean you are going to get the great schools especially elementary and middle schools! You pay an arm and a leg and taxes and get the crap schools!
Love Long Grove. They need a revitalization of their 'downtown' area. Long Grove has such a great character however many businesses have gone out of business and they need to add in more restaurants and destination shops. We love the festivals in Long Grove including Apple Fest, Chocolat Fest and Irish Fest.
