Review of Northbrook, Illinois


Northbrook = Jewish and Russian snobs
Star Rating - 7/28/2021
Northbrook is a great place if:
1.) You're Jewish
2.) You're Russian
3.) You're raising a family

Other than that, it's a stuck-up, sleepy, basic midwest suburb. Overpriced for such a basic, boring place. I've lived many places across the US and in IL. I used to live near the Wisconsin border and those were true friendly midwesterners. Time for me to move along.

According to this website, 59.9 percent of Northbrook residents are religious and, of those, 1.1 percent identify as Jewish. Your comment does not mesh with the statistics/facts. Additionally, in my experience living in various neighborhoods in Chicago, I have found Jewish neighbors to be civic-minded, considerate, generous, reasonable, and friendly.
