Oak Park Overview

Located in the heart of Chicago's west side, Oak Park apartments are an ideal way to get to know the Windy City and all that it has to offer. From a thriving job market to the cultural excitement of one of the nation's most popular destinations, Oak Park is an in-demand locale brimming with opportunity.

What is the history of Oak Park?

Settled in the early 1800s and officially incorporated in 1902, the rail and street cars connecting to the job market of Chicago made Oak Park a popular draw for working class families early on. Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright called the city home, and a melting pot of cultures have given Oak Park apartments a truly unique flair that has propelled the area from the 1970s to the modern age.

How is the weather in Oak Park?

This being Illinois, those living in Oak Park apartments can expect weather typical of the area - largely marked by hot, sometimes humid summers and cold, windy winters. Snow is commonplace in Oak Park, and autumn and spring both tend to be quite pleasant, if a bit blustery.

How do I get around town?

Like much of the larger Chicago metro area, Oak Park apartments are served by rail via the green and blue lines. CTA and Pace offer bus service throughout the region as well, and bicycling is an on-the-move option. Ride share programs such as Lyft are also increasing in popularity, and taxi service is always an option in the Windy City. The famed O'Hare Airport is an easy commute for much of Oak Park, and many residents also claim ownership of a personal vehicle.

What is the Oak Park commute like?

Known for its grid pattern of traffic, Oak Park apartments are a relatively easy commute away from much of the greater Chicago area. The famed Eisenhower Expressway is a popular roadway, leading directly to the airport and beyond. Chicago traffic has a reputation for being sluggish with good reason, and constant road construction helps to hinder many a commute on a daily basis.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Chicago Journal' remains the most widely-read publication in the area, although the Oak Park-born 'Pioneer Press' is also a popular regional news outlet. Radio is eclectic and widespread, ranging in formats from jazz and rock to political talk and the always-popular sporting news. Broadcasting of television affiliates such as NBC and CBS are found with ease for residents of apartments in Oak Park, and larger weekly event papers are also available. WPNA is a hugely popular independent radio station dedicated to the area as well.

Why live in Oak Park, IL?

Offering easy access to one of the most in-demand cities in the world, Oak Park apartments are a hot commodity indeed. Offering a wide range of school options as well as a consistent job market, this dynamic city is an ideal slice of life in the state of Illinois.

What Oak Park landmarks should I see?

A number of famous homes can be found with ease in Oak Park, including former dwellings and museums dedicated to Ernest Hemmingway, Frank Lloyd Wright and Edgar Rice Burroughs. A bevy of historic landmarks dot the city, including the Cheney Mansion and the Fenwick High School. Almost 2400 historic sites in total call Oak Park home, making the area a thriving hot spot for history buffs of all ages.

What is there to do around Oak Park?

Take in a dance performance at the Circle Theatre, or spend an afternoon strolling the galleries and eateries of the famed Harrison art district. Head to the WIP Theater for some nearby comedy performances every night of the week, or get your rock-n-roll on with a trip to Reggie's. Chicago is bursting at the seams with activities, from museums and famous restaurants to shopping destinations and nightclubs, and are easily accessible from many Oak Park apartments.

Any annual festivals or Oak Park events to know?

Oak Park is home to a number of yearly gatherings, including the popular Day In Our Town Fest held each June. Thousands of freedom-loving fans flock to Oak Park every July 4th for the annual fireworks display, and Chicago's Riot Fest is one of the largest rock festivals in the entire nation.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Take a road trip to Detroit and experience all the dynamic Michigan city has to offer, or head east to Iowa and enjoy a weekend of natural splendor on a camping trip. Of course, the lakes and hiking trails of greater Illinois make an ideal vacation as well, and the roller coaster excitement of Ohio's many thrill parks are only a short drive away.

Where is the best place to move in Oak Park?

Oak Park rentals are available to almost all walks of life, from larger layouts ideal for families to luxurious one bedroom apartments close to the excitement of Chicago itself. Wherever you end up, it will be distinctly Oak Park! Good luck with your apartment search!
