Palatine Overview

Boasting the motto 'A Real Home Town', the charming Palatine delivers on the promise of an Illinois locale where everyone knows your name. Brimming with mid-western ambiance to spare, this is one hot spot that is sure to appeal to a wide array of lifestyles.

What is the history of Palatine?

Founded in 1866, the city grew around a station on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. 1911 saw the addition of the Wauconda Railroad, and the first true Palatine suburb was established a few short years later. The city acted as the home to the Cook County Fair for close to two decades, and Palatine apartments experienced rapid growth throughout the 1970s. Presently, the city is in the midst of revitalization of its downtown region.

How is the weather in Palatine?

Those living in Illinois are likely well-versed in the seasons, which range from hot and sunny in the summer months to blustery and snow-filled in the winter. Autumn tends to be quite pleasant, while the spring months often carry rain and seasonal allergies.

How do I get around town?

Rail service to greater Chicago is easily found, as is bus service throughout much of the city proper. Most Palatine apartment residents choose to own at least one personal automobile, although ride sharing services and taxis are readily available. O'Hare Airport is an easy drive away, offering multiple international and domestic flights daily, and Amtrak is also available for those interested in longer railway travel.

What is the Palatine commute like?

Roadways 53 and 14 act as the primary routes of travel, with Colfax the main road running through the city center. I-90 is the most used road to Chicago by commuters, and the daily travel can see lengthy delays on the regular thanks to construction and fender-bender woes.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Daily Herald' and the 'Palatine Times' both serve as popular print media in the region, with the 'Chicago Tribune' offer national insight as well. Radio options are typical of the area, with classic rock and R&B both popular, and most broadcast affiliates are found with ease thanks to the city's proximity to the Chicago market.

Why live in Palatine, IL?

For those desiring a laid-back way of life that still offers plenty of amenities and easy access to big city excitement, Palatine rentals are seemingly ideal in almost every regard. With plenty of well-lauded area schools and shopping options, this Illinois community is a great place to raise a family, and the nearby Chicago job market has landed Palatine on numerous 'best of' lists for the eager commuter.

What Palatine landmarks should I see?

Palatine is known for its abundance of public park area, including popular destinations such as Rolling Meadows. The Family Aquatic Center is an excellent place to spend a summer afternoon, and the Palatine Metra Station is a must-see for train and history buffs.

What is there to do around Palatine?

Take a bird-watching trip across the epic natural beauty of the Deer Grove Forest Preserve, and Orbit Skate Center is a great way to get your roll on during a Saturday night. The Haunted Hometown Ghost Tour is a fun and spooky way to experience some living (and dead?) history, and the nearby Chicago rock clubs of The Metro and Cobra Lounge are always an exciting road trip option.

Any annual festivals or Palatine events to know?

The Downtown Palatine Street Fest is a great way to get to know your neighbors, complete with food vendors and games of chance, while the popular July 4th Celebration is bolstered by a fireworks display and a citywide parade. Halloween is also a fun time in the city, complete with costume contests and the always-enjoyable bobbing for apples.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Enjoy a cheese-tastic trip to nearby Madison, Wisconsin, or hit the road for a sampling of the numerous breweries that make up the Des Moines, Iowa region. Illinois proper is filled with plenty of scenic cities offering antique stores and the like, while Detroit's notorious indie rock scene is still something to crow about.

Where is the best place to move in Palatine?

An array of neighborhood options await potential Palatine apartment residents, ranging from the scenic beauty of Arlington Heights to the luxurious amenities of Hoffman Estates and Barrington. Whether you are on the hunt for a short term one-bedroom complete with onsite parking, or a large family rental in Palatine complete with gym and swimming pool, we are confident that the perfect new Illinois home is out there waiting for you. Good luck with your search!
