Park Forest Overview
"With a population of around 20,000 and located due south of the big city excitement of Chicago, Park Forest apartments are a great way to get to experience all that life in Illinois has to offer. Touting the motto ""Live, Grow, Discover"", this 'little big city' has much to offer in the way of opportunity and convenience."
What is the history of Park Forest?
A planned community initiated to house returning servicemen from World War II, Park Forest flourished quickly upon its establishment in the 1940s, and by 1954 Park Forest was lauded as an 'All-American City'. Even at just 5 square miles in size, Park Forest remained a popular draw well throughout the 1990s, and today the city continues to act as a beacon of small city life in Illinois.
How is the weather in Park Forest?
Spring time is a pleasant affair in the city, with most Park Forest apartment residents requiring just a light jacket or sweater during the evenings. Winters, on the other hand, tend to be lengthy and snow-filled, while Autumn features explosions of leaf color every October and November.
How do I get around town?
Rail service in the city is handled by the Metra system, and bus service is likewise easy to find. Chicago's O'Hare Airport is the primary mode of sky travel, with numerous domestic and international flights available on the daily, and many residents of apartments in Park Forest rely upon a personal car or truck for getting around.
What is the Park Forest commute like?
U.S. Highway 30 and Western Avenue are both major roadways around the city, with Central Park Avenue cutting through much of the center of Park Forest as well. Commuters heading to Chicago proper can expect plenty of that notorious Illinois traffic, thanks in no small part to the consistent road construction that Illinois is known for.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Chicago Tribune' is an ideal print publication for discovering daily news, events and art listings, and Park Forest renters can expect plenty of offerings in the way of broadcast television as well. Radio is a diverse affair, ranging from pop, country, modern rock and classical, with plenty of sporting news to keep the Cubs fans satisfied as well.
Why live in Park Forest, IL?
Home to both natural public park beauty and modern city convenience, Park Forest apartments are an ideal way to get closer to the charm of Illinois. Offering much in the way of schools, employment opportunities and nearby big city cultural experiences, this is one hot spot that should be high on the list for anyone considering a move to the greater Chicago metro vicinity.
What Park Forest landmarks should I see?
The Illinois Theatre Center is a must-see for fans of the stage, and Sauk Trail Woods has long been drawing nature lovers with its jaw-dropping scenery and assortment of hiking and biking paths. The nearby Field Museum also contains a number of meteor fragments that famously fell in Park Forest in 2003, and the museum is sure to be a hit with science fans of all ages.
What is there to do around Park Forest?
Space Golf is a great way to spend an afternoon with the kids, while the Hidden Manna Cafe is a perfect place to grab a quick lunch. Try your best shot with a game at the Sapphire Billiards Club, or toast to a day well spent with friends at Dunagains Irish Pub, both located close to a variety of apartments in Park Forest.
Any annual festivals or Park Forest events to know?
Every Labor Day the Park Forest Scenic 10 Race is held, drawing in runners from across the state and large crowds to cheer them on. Line dancing block parties are held just about every month around the city, and Halloween is a city-wide affair complete with a costume parade and pumpkin carving contest.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Head south to the bed and breakfast paradise of scenic Indiana, complete with antique shopping, quilting demonstrations and apple picking, or spend a weekend camping in the rural end of Michigan. Illinois is a great place to explore in its own right, filled with museums, art galleries and shopping galore, while Ohio is an excellent option for rollercoaster enthusiasts.
Where is the best place to move in Park Forest?
From stylish one bedroom rentals ideal for the Chicago commuter, to larger family-sized units complete with pet friendly policies and onsite amenities such as gym, reserved parking and winter snow removal, Park Forest apartments are available to suit just about every budget and lifestyle.
