Wilmette, Illinois is a “North Shore” town in the New Trier Township school district. Great family town with lots of emphasis on resources for kids. Nationally top ranked public schools, numerous community churches, great parks with recreation programs, public library, large public lakefront park with swimming and sailing beaches are just a few attractions for families. Adjacent to Northwestern University and close to shopping and a wide variety of fine restaurants in Evanston. One on the closest suburban areas to Chicago with easy access to expressways, commuter trains and rapid transit lines as well as O'Hare A/P. Very low crime rate with virtually no violent crime. Good looking neighborhoods featuring green lawns, tree lined streets and interesting homes. Less desirable is the high cost of housing for the Chicago area. Compared to newer and further away suburbs, most of the homes are older on smaller lots with high realestate taxes, although this contributes in a positive way to Wilmette’s small neighborhood atmosphere.
