location
Situated just ten miles west of Lake Michigan, Oak Park has a rich history reflected in its cultural and architectural diversity. The Village of Oak Park has been home to historical figures such as Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Percy Julian and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Minutes from the Eisenhower Expressway and CTA Blue Line, Oak Park’s recent urban landscape renovations have revitalized the village’s residential, commercial and retail developments. The latest improvement, a $3 million project redesigning village streets and walkways, has reduced automobile traffic, increased bicycle and foot traffic and improved public health. The community is reinvesting in its parks and bicycle-friendly routes.
Oak Park is home to numerous tourist attractions, including the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, Unity Temple, Ernest Hemingway’s birthplace and Wonder Works, a Children’s Museum in Oak Park.
