For decades, Lake Forest has been distinguished by those who have chosen to call it home.
With its gorgeous Lake Michigan bluffs and picturesque ravines, it’s no surprise that it has historically been a calming retreat for some of Chicago’s finest families.

Lake Forest is a recreational city, with an abundance of programs and events for all.
Along with other nearby communities, the area offers extensive cultural and recreational opportunities, including a symphony orchestra and music institute. Just minutes away is the internationally renowned Ravinia, North America’s oldest and most diverse summer festival of the performing arts.
Forest Park Beach features a large beach and grass areas, swimming, paddle board, kayak and sailboat rentals, play equipment, sheltered pavilions, grills, a fishing pier, boat launch and storage area, walking paths and concession stand during the summer months.
Lake Forest Open Lands has acquired, preserved, restored, and maintained over 800 acres of highly diverse native landscapes for the benefit of the local community. Six nature preserves encompass woodlands, wetlands, and several rare and globally significant prairies, ravines, and savannas.
