Hi Friends,

I am moving to Lake Forest, Chicago, IL next week due to my new job opportunity there. I have never been to the place around there. 

Looking for good advice regarding the apartments and living near Lake Forest. Looking for appartment near indian/nepalese

community possibly Indian Stores, Restaurants, and local good market.

Any suggestion around that area will be highly appreciated. Also, looking for any possible new friends.

 where did u get the job? rosalind franklin?

 No...it is at a Pharma Company...somewhare in Lake Forest

 chicago suburb is composed to many communities within close proximity. if your workstation is in lake forest then you don't necessarily need to live in lake forest. i work in north chicago which is lil north to lake forest. But i live even north to north chicago. If you have your own vehicle, then it will be flexible for you to find the apartment in the surrounding communities. Otherwise you need to find the route where bus/train route is feasible. Bus and train are good but not that great.
Before I move here, I was out of illinois and found the apartment going online, contacted the manager and reserved the room through phone/email. But i had enough time to do this. As you stated that you are moving next week, you better call all the apartment office rather than email.
good luck
