Located about an hour north of Chicago, Great Lakes is the Navy’s largest training facility and home to the Navy’s only boot camp. Founded in 1911, this historic base sprawls across over 1600 acres overlooking Lake Michigan and has multiple buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Perfect for military employees and families, most of the rentals near this area include multifamily apartment complexes and single-family houses for every budget from affordable to upscale. Similar to many military bases, Great Lakes has a wide variety of amenities located on and near base, including shopping centers, nature preserves, museums, hospitals, movie theaters, restaurants, and more. Learn about the history of the Navy at the National Museum of the American Sailor, see the largest collection of rattlesnakes in North America at the Wildlife Discovery Center, or ride roller coasters at Six Flags Great America.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
