Having lived across the country and outside of it, Round lake is pretty average and kinda boring. The downtown area is tiny, the lack of walkable sidewalks is sad, and the weather is harsh. Heavy snow in the winter and tornado warnings all spring. While the weather wouldn't be a major issue, the lack of things to do it. No local shopping street, no recreation centers, no hang out areas. If you like nature, there are some wild reserve parks that you can visit though.
I have lived here most of my life and I wouldn't change anything. It has been affordable, the people are very nice, and It is close to Chicago and Wisconsin so I can visit whenever.
I love the location of Round Lake, I am close to everything yet far enough so that traffic during rush hour is not an issue. I feel the pricing of homes is wonderful you get a lot for your money. Where I am located which would be considered the unincorporated area my children will be attending the Mundeline schools. Some parts of Round Lake such as my location the children attend better schools. The other parts of Round Lake attend lower quality schools. Such as the high school which has metal detectors and the reviews on the school are not positive. Property taxes are responsible for what your buying however with the amount of property taxes being paid the schools should be better.
