Palatine has a mostly family demographic, but growth will slow down as the last farm in the village limits closed in the 1990s and there just isn't much land left on which to build. Until the great home bust, single family permits were maintaining at around 100 a year. Of course, back in the 60s when Winston Park subdivision was being built, it was much higher.
UPSIDE OF LIVING IN PALATINE-- The village is a half hour commute from Chicago by train. There are plenty of village things always happening and now the new downtown condos are adding seniors and young professionals to the mix.
DOWNSIDE OF LIVING IN PALATINE-- Other than parks and forest preserves, there are not a lot of wide open spaces still available. If you want room, head out farther. Palatine used to be an outskirts suburb, but is no longer on the outskirts, but in the bustling Northwest Suburbs and all the traffic that comes from that. I'll sure agree with the traffic problem.. It is horrible.
More to Come. --DaCoot
