Sorry- I never saw your reply! We're living in Forrestal.
No major complaints but, if we'd had more time to decide and could do it over, we definitely would've moved off base, too. :)

Hey! I live in Waukegan, IL we also had the problem with huskies. We have one as well! We live at the reserve at eagle ridge. I have lived here for the past year and haven't had a single problem. I see that someone has mentioned to you that they have regretted moving here, they offer incentives along with their lease (free months rent..etc) If you sign the lease do not take any of the incentives unless you are sure you will be here for the entire lease. If you break the lease before the 6month/year is up it will not be covered in the military clause. (i spoke with navy legal about this as well, so it is confirmed) My husband is an ET and we moved in july and just recieved our orders. I am moving out in june and instead of breaking the lease and paying back the incentives i am just going to pay for the pro-rated month of july. I still recommed living here. Another place you could look at is the lakes at fountain square. They also accept huskies, it was another place that we considered living at. The only thing i didn't like about it was that they did not have washer and dryers in the house. If you need any help with any information around here let me know. Ill be here til june but i will try to be as much help as i can! If you decide to move to eagle ridge let me know so that you can put me down as a reference!
