Vernon Hills is a shopping mecca in the northern suburbs of Chicago. With easy access to the interstate, we have stores and restaurants galore and all the traffic that goes with it. It would be nice to see some farm-to-table dining rather than chain restaurants. We have Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, etc. Our indoor mall will be revamped in the coming years. Our high school is fantastic, but our elementary and middle schools are sub-par (different districts). The teens are bored around here. There needs to be better entertainment. We have very little crime. The real estate doesn't move because of high taxes, including recent funding for our poorly managed District 73. But the people are close and have a kind of Friday Night Lights feel as high school and community sports are a thing!
I grew up here and it is one of the nicest towns in the area. The entirety of Lake County is pleasant, actually. As a small child, wandering around my neighborhood was not a problem, because the streets are safe and well maintained. Really nice place to grow up! I miss it!
The environment of Vernon Hills is one of the best in Illinois. The people in this area are welcoming, kind, and diverse. This is the perfect place to raise kids, start a family, or even meet new friends!
