Great Lakes Naval Station: Forrestal Housing

Forrestal Housing

On Great Lakes Naval Station

Review

"Forrestal Village Slums****rita"

This is the worst housing that O have seen in 26+ years of military service. Floods, thefts, nasty and rude maintenance personnel, and mold. Maintenance did not respond to a gas leak so we called the fire department and got yelled at when maintenance did show up. Would not respond to broken toilets or a clogged drain that resulted in flooding.

Pros Cons
  1. None
  1. Floods, thefts, rude maintenance, mold
  • Recommended: No

"Forrestal Housing is off Base Housing"

When we arrived in North Chicago, we were looking for House out of a military housing. Well, with the BAH we get, there were just affordable houses in the ghetto of North Chicago. So we decided to go to housing. Now we live in a 4 bedroom house in a really nice neighborhood! Lots of Kids Parks, about every 4-5 Blocks is one! I pefer to live in Forrestal, as Nimitz or Halsey are older and smaller Houses.
If you come to Great Lakes, move into Forrestal Housing! It's a nice and clean Housing

Pros Cons
  1. Big 4 Bedroom newly constructed Houses
  1. Off Base, everybody has access to Housing
  • Recommended: Yes
  • Appearance: well manicured with grass cut, common areas maintained, suburban, neighborhood parks, toys in yards

Local Favorites

  • Restaurants: Shanty, Full Moon
  • Gym / Fitness: Zip in Waukegan
  • Shopping: Gurnee Mall
