Located high on the bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan, Lake Forest is one of the eight suburban communities north of Chicago that are collectively referred to as “the North Shore.” Located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, Lake Forest is near major interstates and is served by two commuter rail lines.
