Richmond is a historic and quaint small town located in Northwest Illinois. The Village truly cares for its residents and puts on many activities for all ages. The main road route 12, runs through the heart of Richmond which brings in many tourists on their way to Lake Geneva, WI. Locals and tourists can enjoy food, drink, and small businesses.
Great area with a small town feel that is still close to everything you could need. Good schools, close to lake geneva, McHenry, Crystal Lake and more.
Richmond is a nice little town. I like that it's relatively quiet. I don't love the coyotes as they've gotten pretty brazen, coming in close to our enclosure even with all of our dogs outside including the 160lb Pyrenees. We also happen to live in a part of the town that doesn't have the capability for good WiFi, and no company is willing to put in the money to make it possible. I rely on WiFi for work especially with the pandemic, so it's pretty unfortunate. My political views are also very different from that of the majority around here.
