Top 10 Reasons to Live in Chicago’s North Shore

Metra Station in Glencoe

If you’re thinking of moving to Chicago’s North Shore, you’ve come to the right place. Nothing compares to the distinctive beauty and charm of this area.  The family-oriented small towns which make up the North Shore include Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Highland Park and Lake Forest. These towns offer many benefits and typify the idyllic lifestyle of the Midwest.

There are few, if any, places in the Chicago area that can touch the North Shore in terms of lifestyle, education and recreation.  The North Shore has everything you could want, except maybe the lowest cost housing. But even that has its positive side. Housing on the North Shore tends to hold its value better than anywhere else in the area because there is always a market for homes in established lake front communities.

Top 10 Reasons to Live in North Shore:

  8. Strong sense of community
  9. Charming and vibrant downtown areas with unique shops, cafes and restaurants

This week, we will begin looking at individual communities starting with Evanston.
