Lake Forest likes its stately status quo
|
Lake Forest is a North Shore suburb of expensive homes and
tree-lined streets. Residents intend to keep it that way.
Village codes are strict, calling for quiet plumbing,
jiggle-free floors and white drapes. The village also is being
careful in developing its open space.
Recently 47,000 square feet of retail and office space was
created - a mix of small shops, family-owned businesses and some
large stores such as Marshall Field's. No land is zoned for
industrial use.
