    "Wauconda is a very quiet and beautiful place to live. The people are educated and kind. the level of the schools is very good. The streets are very quiet, the park is very well maintained as well as the playgrounds. The only bad thing to say about Wauconda is that it does not have more stores like walmart or clothing stores."
