What is lake forest?
Lake Forest is a wealthy suburb of Chicago situated about 30 miles to the north, directly on the lake. A largely old-money suburb, its residents are widely rumored to be conservative, narrow-minded, racist, homophobic, and antisemitic. While there are examples of such attitudes, especially among the older generations, most residents are comparatively down to earth and accepting of cultural, political, and religious differences. Prejudice against new-money suburbs such as Wilmette, Highland Park, and Winnetka, and against the middle and working class is much more prevalent than any animosity towards minorities. There is a level of snobbishness and materialism, but it is rarely accompanied by hatred or bigotry. Some have suggested that while academically outstanding, Lake Forest High School does little to prevent the perpetuation of the elitist and indifferent attitudes of young Lake Foresters, and indeed, allows the few remaining negative aspects of Lake Forest society to flourish. Because of this, many residents of middle and working class communities such as Evanston and Morton Grove as well as new-money wealthy and upper-middle class communities such as parts of Skokie and Lincolnwood are developing more hatred and resentment for Lake Foresters than is really deserved.
Mom: So, where do you want to have your Bar Mitzvah party, dear?
Boy: How about the Lake Forest Country Club, mom?
Mom: Oh, sweetie, I'm not sure they'd let us in.
Boy: Why not?
Mom: I'll have to explain that to you when you're a little older, honey.

What does "lake forest" mean?
Lake Forest is a large town on the North Shore. Many people who live in this town think they are the richest on the North Shore, and cannot accept the fact that they are obviously not. I live on the North Shore, and I have definitely seen the town of Lake Forest, the residents, the stores, and the homes. I know for a fact that it is NOT the richest town on the North Shore, let alone the richest town in the country. In fact, Lake Forest is the 3rd richest town on the North Shore, not the 3rd richest town in the country. Kenilworth and Winnetka rank higher for various reasons. Lake Forest people generally forget to acknowledge the fact that New Trier (which is where most kids on the North Shore go to high school) is ranked MUCH higher than Lake Forest Academy, and the sad fact that Lake Forest is about a half-hour farther from the city, which is where many people on the North Shore work and/or shop.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of Lake Forest is rich, but a lot of Lake Forest is middle class, also. I don’t know why people in Lake Forest try to rub it in people's faces that they live on the North Shore. It really isn't that big of a deal, but they seem to want to let everybody think that they are ridiculously rich, when in reality; Lake Forest is NOT that fabulous.
So next time you read one of those false definitions about Lake Forest, or the North Shore (written by residents of Lake Forest) remember all of the true facts you have just read about.
Also notice the names of the people who wrote about the "perfection" (yeah right) of Lake Forest. That is so ridiculous, not to mention embarrassing.
Sorry, all you people who live in Lake Forest. You've got to face the facts. Some of you people just need to GET OVER YOURSELVES!
By the way, the definition written by richgirl1789 is total bullshit.

Lake forest - meaning
One of the richest, pure raced communisities in the world. The residents usualy have a rather short sighted view of things, but overall, despite being slightly self centered, are good people. Do not expect to see many minorities, and any that you do have either been dregded of any ethnic traces, or are shunned quickly from the "in" crowd. Numerous exclusive country clubs dot the landscape of Lake Forest, or the "LF" as residents call it.
There are two major high schools in the area, a boarding school called Lake Forest Academy, where most of the students are boarders from out of state. The other high school is the public school, called Lake Forest High School. This establishment provides a good mix of rich children and the leff afluent of the area.

Lake forest - slang
Lake Forest is located 30 miles north of Chicago. Despite a few contradictions, it is truly the third wealthiest town in the United States. Many surrounding towns compete to be the best of the north shore, but Kenilworth is the only the nearby town that tops LF's affluency. People on the north shore stereotype people in lake forest as snotty drug addicts who would never make it at New Trier. NT is by far one of the best public high schools in the country but LF's two high schools are almost equivalent. LFHS is possibly the most beautiful public high school in the country and has been gaining testing strength almost outranking NT. LFA is the only coed boarding school in the Chicago-land area and is highly regarded as one of the world's best schools, even passing NT. The problem with drugs is limited. Although the bitchy reputation can sometimes be portrayed most of the residents are polite, considerate and appreciative of what they have. The designer clothes that are said to fill their closets are mixed in with things found at Target.
Lake Forest is a great place.
