Mount Prospect Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 223 reviews
It is an excellent town and it is very safe! There is a wonderful community, too, along with great events to get everyone together.
Mount Prospect is a great place to settle down and is very family-friendly. The neighborhoods are quiet and safe and the schools in the area are great education-wise. There is easy access to restaurants, shopping areas, and recreational facilities such as parks. The commuter rail is located in the downtown area, therefore allowing easy access to transportation to and from the city of Chicago. In addition to the train station, downtown Mount Prospect also includes the library, the city hall, and a mix of local businesses and commercialized businesses. Overall, it is definitely a nice suburb to reside in, however, diversity (specifically in schools) could be improved.
Mount Prospect is a Chicago Suburb with a small population of 55k. It is very diverse and there are a lot of stores and restaurants. Especially close to Wood field Mall, movie theatre's, train, etc. Also very safe, you can walk alone at night without constantly looking over your shoulder. There are jobs always hiring with a pay between $13-$20+.
