Just over an hour northwest of downtown Chicago, Crystal Lake is a great community for folks seeking a quiet lifestyle, comfortably removed from the big city. The area enjoys a low crime rate and high-performing schools, making Crystal Lake apartments a popular choice for families. The city’s namesake is just one of many lakes and parks providing venues for outdoor activities like boating, swimming, biking, and golf.
Main Street in the Historic Downtown district is the city’s cultural hub, with excellent dining, shopping, and nightlife. Metra rail service into Chicago is also available from Crystal Lake, making it easy for residents to take advantage of everything the bigger city has to offer as well.
