Our home is nestled in a friendly and quaint Evanston neighborhood, just four blocks north of Chicago. We are exactly a mile from Lake Michigan and nearly as close to shops/restaurants in Evanston. There are at least 10 parks/playgrounds within walking distance of the house. We are a 12 minute walk to the CTA “el” line that takes you either into Chicago or Downtown Evanston. We are also a 1/2 block from a CTA bus station. We love Evanston because you can bike anywhere, there are excellent restaurants, and we have easy access to Chicago (just a 25 minute drive to the city center but less than 5 minutes to Rogers Park). We are just 4 blocks from the drug store and other shops for essentials. Last but not least, we’re less than 2 miles from several beaches, including Rogers Beach, Juneway Beach, Howard Beach, and South Boulevard Beach.
Your stay at our house comes with 2 parking spots, both of which are accessible through a back alley. Additional guests/cars can park for free on any of the nearby neighborhood side streets, although there are certain restrictions depending on the day of the week and time of the year.
