This is a biggy and I need all the experts help on this one. My daughter currently lives in Forest Park, and works in Elk Grove Village. Boyfriend, future roommate, works in Lake Forest. Would you recommend Lincolnwood as a good compromise for each of their commutes (EGV, and Lake Forest?
Any better recommendations for future family building, close to the trains to city, "downtown" feeling with restaurants, like Forest Park or Oak Park? Thanks!!! (He really likes suburbs - she likes "city") Need compromise!!!! |

Distance wise you are right on, but Lincolnwood is more suburb-like than just about any other town that close in...

If they can afford Lincolnwood they could look at Evanston as well. It offers a good city/suburb compromise. But I don't like that commute to Elk Grove Village. There's no great east/west artery going to and from Evanston. But Metra access to Lake Forest is a plus!

As far as distance to the city,price and distance to trains,Morton Grove,Skokie,Niles as well as Lincolnwood are your best options in the near North and Northwest burbs of Chicago.
The thing is they do not have really exciting downtowns and a wealth of things to do in their downtown areas. But then again neither does Evanston really. Evanston has more things to do than the areas I mentioned, but it is not worth the price IMO. |

IMO I would rather live in Rogers Park than Evanston. There is not much difference except for price.Sounds crazy doesnt it? But I am being honest. |

What would be the easiest commute for her to Elk Grove Villiage? Looks like any where North will be an easy commute to Lake Forest, so that doesn't seem to be a problem! It seems EGV is hard to get to from any where!
