Review of Lake Zurich, Illinois


Retro to the future
Star Rating - 10/22/2007
Lake Zurich is in the midst of a retro revitalization. They have moved the major highway out from downtown and are building condos, shops and apartments.

This by itself is being done all over the northwest Chicago suburban area. The difference is that lake Zurich is working toward a revitalized downtown which will be walker friendly. Within 2 miles of the heart of Lake Zurich you have 5 major groceries, greater than a dozen restaurants, 2 hardware stores, a lumber yard and several parks.

When the project is completed Lake Zurich will have a very high quality of life.

Downtown revitalization is at a standstill...with current townhomes built and not selling..plus our gateway building may never be built due to disagreements on funding by the devloper and Village of LZ. So, LZ continues to be in debt and the TIF district can't or won't pay out what it owes to the schools and library. The Bypass is the only good thing to have come out of LZ's revitalization. The review says "when the project is completed" I questtion "if" this project will ever be completed or left in unsold townhomes and empty vacant lots where houses used to dtand...before the Village of LZ sued for eminent domain and tore them doen in the name of "progress".
