Oak Park - "A Community of Substance"
 Situated 9 miles from downtown Chicago and best know as the home to the worlds largest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright designed structures - 26 in all, and the birth place of Ernest Hemingway as well as many other celebrated citizens.
A community rich in historical heritage and cultural awareness. With the benefit of urban proximity and an attitude of small town responsibility, residents are committed to creating a friendly active community.
 The people of Oak Park choose this community, not just as a place to live, but as a way of life ... Ours is a dynamic community that encourages the contributions of all citizens, regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, economic status, political affiliation or any of the other distinguishing characteristics that all too often divide people in society."
With twenty-eight parks or playgrounds, tennis courts, swimming pools an ice rink, two Universities near by, one of the top rated public high schools, eight grammer schools, churches of all denominations, an abundance of restaurants to choose from and endless shops both big and small. A twenty minute ride to downtown Chicago by car or one of the three trains and less than thirty minutes to both airports, it's plain to see why over 53,000 people call Oak Park home.
