City - Evanston

Everything you’ll ever need is right here in Evanston, Illinois. This diversified city boasts pristine public schools, community parks, and glistening views of Lake Michigan. Situated on the lake’s shoreline in northeast Illinois, Evanston is located just 14 miles north of Chicago, a great perk for commuters or lovers of the Windy City.

A staple to the community, Northwestern University offers a beautiful lakefront campus that adds to the community’s focus on quality education, also supported by the great public schools in the Evanston/Skokie School District 65. A long strip of community parks reside on either side of the river that travels through Evanston, branching from Wilmette Harbor off of Lake Michigan. From athletic courts and biking trails to playgrounds and lush lawns, these parks offer a multitude of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors while overlooking Evanston’s rushing river.
