Many of our Chicago clients move to Oak Park to purchase their first single family house. They simply find the combination of price-point for a livable house and school district more desirable than Chicago. Oak Park offers a substantial downtown with dining and entertainment options akin to Chicago lifestyles. The Park District is rather robust as well.
