So, Born and raised here. Median household income is $131,378, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $2,616/month for a decent place. With a population of 85,846, Lake Forest is a smaller city. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up.
