City - Sycamore

Sycamore is a small city in north-central Illinois, located about an hour west of Chicago on the north side of DeKalb County. This town is known for its beautifully preserved historic homes and buildings. The Sycamore Historic District is home to over 200 vintage architectural specimens, including the Sycamore Public Library, which has served the city from its original structure since 1905. Sycamore is a perfect option for renters who want to embrace a minimalistic lifestyle and are looking for small-town charm.

The downtown district along State Street provides a timeless hangout for locals, packed with unique cafes, taverns, bakeries, and specialty shops, as well as the longtime favorite Sycamore State Theater, an old-school cinema with a bright marquee. On the eastern part of town, you’ll find residents enjoying the Sycamore Park District, a massive recreational space with sports fields, a community center, a golf course, and a community pool.
