Best neighborhoods in Palatine
I grew up here but left for a while. Crime rate is something to consider -Palatine sits at 61.8 per 100K. Poverty rate is 7.6%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $95,950 in Palatine. The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Good schools
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
