CNN in its recent Money Magazine article  reported Long Grove, Illinois  as the 24th suburb out of 25 for the highest median household  income in the United States. I don't know if that's something to brag about..... but let me explain why Long Grove should also qualify as one of the top 10 places to live!

Long Grove Illinois is my Kind of Town!

Long Grove,  Illinois is very  unique.... its a very quaint suburb, but with all the amenities of city living.  Although it is relatively small in population, it is quite large in terms of square miles.  The zoning rules ensure that properties have ample acreage in order that the residents do not lose their sense of privacy.  In addition the retention of the conservencies is protected by the Village in order not to lose the natural vegetation.Historical Long Grove Shops


Long Grove may be best known for its many festivals andLong Grove confectionary specialty shops  Visitors travel long distances by car and chartered buses  to spend a day in the Long Grove Historic Business District.  Downtown Long Grove contains 120 stores appealing to both tourists and residents.

Judy... Sounds like a great place to live.... especially like the lower population and larger geographic area, plenty of breathing room.  Nice information for anyone relocating into the area.

I bought the very best bottle of wine ever in Long Grove many years ago.  We saved it and opened it when we bought our first home.  It's a great place to visit.
