What is Lake Bluff like?

What is Lake Bluff like? I’d love to hear from anyone who has lived there or nearby.

beautiful area, great schools, very peaceful, waaay too far out for my tastes if the commute is downtown. but there are tons of large corporate headquarters nearby, so if you are working up there it would be a top choice.

I lived there after college and commuted to the loop as a futures trader on the CME. Took the 5:15 am train and it was rarely crowded and always on time. My grandmother was a long time resident of Lake Forest (lived across the street from the Bears headquarters). Although I went to school in the East, came back home for three years. I was a state champion in track from Lake County, and wanted to run both with guys in the area and on the Lake County Forest preserves. It fit a niche for me. Remember, Lake Bluff is the last suburb with Shoreacres club separating Great Lakes/North Chicago from the village. I learned to run track in North Chicago/Waukegan so I wasn’t your average kid staying in a cushy suburb. Make no mistake Lake Bluff is a nice place (Lake Forest schools) but it is a long commute to the city.
