Oak Park is also the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway - you can tour his home and museum. Local Farmer's MArket every Saturday June - Oct. 15 min drive to The Loop and Magnificent Mile Shopping, Millennium Park and Navy Pier. Great architectural boat tours through the river and Al Capone/Untouchables tours in the city.

A walk through our neighborhood will reveal everything from classic Chicago bungalows to Prairie-style homes, Victorian "painted ladies" and 19th century estates. Downtown Oak Park has a movie theater, unique shops, antiques and an array of ethnic cuisine options. Chicago proper begins just 4 blocks from our front door - enjoy the urban/suburban mix. Come explore the Windy City!
