So, what is it that makes Highland Park one of the 12 best suburbs to live in throughout Chicagoland (according to Chicago magazine)?

Do you agree? Is it.....

  • Schools
  • Neighborhoods
  • Shopping
  • Sense of community
  • Low crime rate
  • Restaurants
  • Ravinia
  • Vicinity to Lake Michigan
  • or some other reason that makes YOUR town special?
Famous people such as Michael Jordan and Billy Corgan have, or currently do live here, in addition to it being the initial home of the stars on The Good Wife. Other Hollywood connections include movies shot in town, such as Ferris Buehler's Day Off (remember the sports car falling into the ravine?), Home Alone, Weird Science, Uncle Buck and Sixteen Candles. 

So does Highland Park really represent the good life? If so, tell us why in the comment section below!
