Round Lake Beach has all of the everyday shopping that you could possibly need, but you'll need to travel to Vernon Hills or Gurnee to shop beyond the everyday stuff. The town is as safe as any suburb, and the Mayor, who recently retired, made many improvements to the town, including beautifying the lakefront and cleaning up the crime. Our interim Mayor is a former Chicago police officer. Round Lake schools are poor, but there are parts of town that are assigned to the Grayslake schools, which are good. There is a mix of older, humble homes, and newer subdivision homes. The area seems to lean conservative, but a lot of people from the city are moving here, so that could change things. The culture is very diverse, which, IMHO, is nice. There are some good churches and the Park District has a lot of family-friendly programs. Taxes in Illinois are high no matter where you live, so be prepared for that. Round Lake Beach is close to the tollway, so it is easy to get around.
I've lived at Round Lake Beach for most of my life for more than twenty years. What I like about Round Lake Beach are multiple opportunities you can find such as a tight community where we all come together for events, an account for safety to protect people's well-being, and convenience toward multiple markets. I wish they would capitalize on the empty buildings that are abandoned for the past several years. As businesses come and go, some of the buildings remain barren and hardly been occupied for the past decade. Still, I enjoy my home at Round Lake Beach.
Round Lake Beach is a suburban area that has a lot of different places around it. This is useful for discovering new things. There are tennis courts, bowling alleys, restaurants, dentistries, doctor's offices, etc. It's a good place to live in.
