Can anyone tell me anything about the "Oakton Historic District" in Evanston? We are planning a move to Evanston and are trying to navigate neighborhoods, etc. The biggest priority for us is a good school for our 7-year-old. I've seen some real estate in that area that looks nice, but then on this board I've heard a lot of people say to avoid this area of Evanston (south and slightly west of campus). I would love any thoughts. Thank you!

Default Oakton Historic District

The Oakton Historic District is a wonderful place to live. There are people who know nothing about the area who will try to tell you that it is not a good place to live. They are wrong. I live on Dobson and there are 65 children on our block. We have lived there 9 years and have never had any bikes stolen or any other bad things happen. We are in constant contact with each other through a neighborhood chat board and if someone sees something they don't like, they let everyone know.

Most of the kids on the block do not go to the local elementary school unless they are part of a two-way immersion program in Spanish. I would suggest you go to the school and make up your own mind. There is also a Catholic school nearby and some of the kids go to the magnet schools in the district.

Hope this helps.
