The city of Lake Forest is an amazing community where I live with my husband and two kids. A center of the arts with two symphonies and a thriving theater life. A Market Square with restaurants and shopping energy and a phenomenal school district. With almost 200 acres of developed parks along with 11 miles of bike rails and over 20 miles of nature and walking trails, the city offers a beautiful environment for the outdoors. A place that welcomes people home to the passion and purpose of safe family leaving. And let's not forget Lake Forest Beach and 12 parks which complete this wonderful town.
