Welcome to Lake Forest, IL

The city of Lake Forest is one of Chicago’s desirable North Shore suburbs, situated on high bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan. Just 32 miles from the Chicago Loop but worlds away from the traffic congestion and noise, Lake Forest is a picturesque retreat for those who commute to and from the big city. The community of nearly 21,000 residents boasts a fine balance of historic charm and modern amenities, and through quality education, vibrant cultural attractions, and recreation for all ages, Lake Forest offers a superb environment for growing families. The city is served by the Lake Forest School District 67 with three elementary schools, one middle school, and Lake Forest High School. The highly respected Lake Forest Academy located on the city’s west side, is one of the Midwest’s best college preparatory schools with 100% of its graduates moving on to 4-year colleges and universities.
