18. I agree with you on the Stevenson District |

It is great academically but it seems just so damn huge, the last graduating class had something like 1,100 kids, it's almost like a junior college. Part of Lake Zurich feeds into Stevenson and a couple of kids on my son's travel baseball team went there, very talented ballplayers but 150 tried out for the freshman team and their "career" was over.
I have lived in Lake Zurich for 20 years now and it is a nice community. No public pool but there is a YMCA and the lake itself has public beaches. Plenty of homes in the right price range. It does not have Stevenson rep academically but the school system is excellent. We actually pass referendums to raise property tax for the schools and library.
Will you and/or you husband be working in the city or a suburban office? Traffic in Lake County can be a pain but that is true for most newer suburban areas. If you are going to commute burb to burb try to locate closer as there are not enough roads to get anywhere. There are only a few metra lines and inter suburban mass transit is nonexistent.
I also know a good realtor if you need one.
