    "The commute is fine early in the morning on 72, around 6:30-7, if you’re heading east. It also gets a little busy/congested after 7:30am. The commute to Elgin isn’t too bad at around 5-ish on 31. The drivers here are very respectful and follows the speed limit on 72. There’s always cops on that road btw. "

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for most of my life. It's a unique, tight-knit community with a small town feel. Very close to shopping and the highway. It's the neighborhood where everyone knows their neighbors and everyone looks out for each other. It's a part of a wonderful school district. There's always something to do!!"

    "It’s near a historical downtown Area with a riverfront. There’s a mall and many local businesses in the area as well. It’s about a half an hour away from Schaumburg if you work out there and you can take 72/Higgins all the way or I-90. Nature lovers can go on the prairie trail. It’s a nice place "
