Grew up in Indy. Its mostly flat, but far southern and northwest Marion County (where Indy is located) have several high cames (hills). Its not fun when your car slides down them in winter when they are icy. Indianapolis is not totally flat, contrary to conventional wisdom.

There's some rolling countryside around Geist, too.

Chicago is pretty flat.

The biggest hill in Chicago is the Dan Ryan, or maybe the Skyway

Yeah, I always take for granted that the developers flattened out the city when it was developed.

The suburban areas didn't, but it's just the usual rolling hills and valleys of the upper mid-west.

Off topic, but as someone who lived in both a hilly area (Smithtown LI) and now a flat area (Babylon LI), I much more like having flat land that is usable! The North Shore may be more scenic but some of the properties have yards that are unusable because of the steep slopes.
