I’ve enjoyed my time at palatine, I’ve been here since i was a 9 years old, I would say that when I arrived it had been a little violent and a lot of things happening at once but I felt it change over the years I’m sure it has to do a lot with the area you are living in, but I’ve actually met great people here, it feels accepting for most of the time, I think what makes it more acceptable to live here has been the youth and it definitely has a lot more to grow with social issues and such but I’m hopeful for this towns future with open minds in charge! I went to high school in palatine and I couldn’t have asked for a better one, they have great programs, opportunities , Teachers and the help of a great community! Over all it’s not the best but it’s very humble and quite simple to live here.
Palatine is a nice community and has an overall welcoming environment. There is a lot of connection between the locals, which creates a sense of belonging. It is a safe place to live, as there are not too many sketchy parts of town. The community buildings (library, grocery store, etc) are clean and well maintained.
Palatine is a community that strives on bringing its residents together and providing a fun space for everyone. Being born and raised in Palatine, the people I have met here have never been a disruption to my well being or my mental health. The interactions are always stupendous. As well, the Palatine Fire Department is efficient at serving their community, as I have seen through an internship I have had with them.
