    "You definitely need a car to get around to most places. Some places are walkable but it is much easier to get around with a car. My commute to the city Chicago is always great and convenient using the local Palatine Metra Station."

With plenty of stores, access to the highway, and multiple large forest preserves, it’s a great mix of green space and accessibility.
