ABOUT HIGHLAND PARK

Located 23 miles north of downtown Chicago, Highland Park is known for its vibrant downtown

business district, abundant recreational facilities and world-class cultural amenities including

Ravinia Festival, a one-of-a-kind outdoor concert venue.

Highland Park is home to several landmarks, including homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Highland Park also created the first community land trust in Illinois to develop and preserve high-

quality affordable housing for residents.

High-end homes in Highland Park include custom lakefront mansions, multi-million-dollar

contemporary estates. Mid-century moderns and in-town bungalows are plentiful at more modest

price points. There also are a number of luxury condominiums. All within walking distance to

downtown shops, restaurants and commuter train stations.

Residents enjoy two public beaches and the North Shore Yacht Club, a not-for-profit membership

organization for sailors, kayakers, power boaters and stand-up paddle boarders. Downtown

Highland Park thrives year-round thanks to an eclectic mix of businesses including local

restaurants, national retailers and upscale boutiques.

While the locals enjoy Highland Park living year-round, it shines brightest in the summertime

when the sprawling outdoor Ravinia Festival welcomes the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and a

diverse lineup of popular musicians. Ravinia attracts audiences from near and far, including city-

dwellers who can pack a picnic and hop on the Metra train that conveniently stops at Festival gates.
