Review of Antioch, Illinois


A good, if not boring place to live
Star Rating - 2/1/2014
I've lived here since the population was 6,100. Now it's around 13,000 in town. Very small town. Generations, mostly white republicans are rooted here 2-3 families deep. Pretty good schools, super low crime. Not much to do though. The town is a classic Main Street strip with a one theatre movie showing, dunkin donuts and town bars. Lots of alcoholics live here. There is a large system of lakes surrounding the area called Chain o Lakes where everyone spends their summers boating. That's the highlight. Our house is 19 yrs old, about 1/2 acre, 1700 sq ft and we paid $202,000 for it. Taxes are high. Weather sucks!!!
