What I wish I knew before living in Fox Lake Hills
Curious what people think. Just moved here 11 months ago and It's a a small town city with about 2,304 people. Crime rate is something to consider -Fox Lake Hills sits at 475.2 per 100K. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $229,700, which is actually reasonable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What would you do?

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 3 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
