A family-friendly community in Chicago’s western suburbs

Suburb Commuter River Golf Metra Rail Service Safe Low Crime Family Friendly

Forty miles west of Chicago, the city of Geneva is a vibrant and growing community on the banks of the Fox River. Sandwiched between Saint Charles to the north and Batavia to the south, Geneva forms the centerpiece of a thriving tri-cities area in Chicago’s western suburbs, with the three small cities sharing many of the same resources. Geneva’s bustling Downtown district runs along State Street and 1ST Street, with charming vintage storefronts hosting a diverse blend of cafes and specialty shops.

The low crime rate and terrific local schools have helped make Geneva one of the region’s most desirable communities among folks raising families. Peck Farm Park on the east side and numerous golf courses all around town offer great opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air. With the Geneva Metrarail station at the center of town, it’s easy to get around the whole Chicagoland area without having to drive.
