Just north of Chicago, Evanston, IL allows for the perfect fusion between city and suburban living, offering easy city access to commuters via Chicago’s purple line and the Metra. As the one-time home of famed Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, Evanston offers an eclectic mix of architecture - historic homes, dating back as far as the 1900s, dot the lakefront and tree-lined streets, with newer construction condos standing near Northwestern University’s sprawling campus.
