Oak Park
Oak Park is technically a Chicago suburb, but don’t think that makes it the domain of cul-de-sacs and minivans. As a matter of fact, Oak Park pulses with more culture than plenty of cities several times its size. Lovers of the arts know it as the former home of two American icons: author Ernest Hemingway and architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Regular tours spotlight both men’s favorite haunts, with Wright’s designs in particular drawing tourists from around the globe. Locally owned shops and national chains intermingle in the city’s several business districts, offering everything from fast food and department stores to upscale boutiques and gourmet dining.
Even with all of its cosmopolitan trappings, Oak Park maintains a certain suburban appeal. The city’s residential neighborhoods are close-knit and cozy, featuring a mix of bungalows, apartments and larger family homes. And as the name suggests, both trees and parks are abundant, making this one of the Chicago area’s most popular destinations for young families looking to cut down on the hassles of city life without sacrificing the convenience.
