Community Information:
Live and work in one of Chicago's affluent North Shore communities,
including Evanston, Highland Park, Glenview, Northbrook, and others.
These desirable suburbs allow for superb quality of life without
taking you too far away from all that a world-class city like
Chicago has to offer, including museums, architecture, theatre,
sports, shopping and more. Chicago's North Shore suburbs are situated on the shore of Lake
Michigan just 15-30 miles north of downtown Chicago. These communities
boast outstanding schools, low crime rates, beautiful homes, award-winning
cycling and walking paths, numerous recreational activities for
the whole family, charming shops, and terrific restaurants! You will experience all four seasons in Chicago. In summer, cool
off at one of the Lake Michigan beaches, take in a festival downtown,
see the Chicago symphony in their summer home at Ravinia outdoor
music theatre, or plan a quick getaway to a second home or lakefront
resort town in Wisconsin, Indiana or Michigan. In the winter,
indulge in some of the many winter sports available, go skiing
in Wisconsin or Michigan, or hop a plane from O'Hare airport to
somewhere warm and sunny!
