    "Beautiful neighborhood with gorgeous and well maintained homes. The Ravinia district in particular is super family friendly - it’s where the weekly farmers market and summer food trucks with music come. And of course the Ravinia music venue itself is amazing. "

    "I’ve lived here for 1 year. The area is very affluent and can feel unwelcoming at times to those of us who aren’t as well off as the rest. The public areas and parks are very well taken care of and top notch. I wish there were more options for the younger crowd. There aren’t any bars other than one brewery and a local pub. I wouldn’t recommend the area for a young couple but if you want a calm place to live, this is a good area. "
