Around the Neighborhood
General
Skokie apartments have long been a destination for renters in Chicago looking for beautiful tree-lined streets and a suburban lifestyle while enjoying an easy commute into downtown Chicago. The apartments in Skokie can typically be found in vintage 2-flat and 3-flat apartment buildings, courtyard apartment buildings, condos for rent, houses for rent, and detached, single-story homes built just after the Second World War when baby boom parents flocked to the northern suburbs. And new construction luxury apartment buildings. Skokie apartment rentals can be found at affordable rents compared to Evanston to the east and comparable to West Ridge Chicago apartment rents.
Renting apartments in Skokie is an easy transition for those moving from Chicago as the street grid in Chicago continues into Skokie, as does the CTA public transit system. The public transportation near Skokie apartments is abundant — the Skokie Swift (also known as the CTA “Yellow Line”) runs no less frequently than every 15 minutes between Dempster Avenue in Skokie and the Howard station, where it connects to the Red and Purple Lines that lead south to the Chicago Loop and north to Evanston. Seven CTA bus lines and ten Pace Suburban Bus lines also meander through the village.
The village of Skokie, IL, is situated about 12 miles northwest of downtown Chicago, between the Edens Expressway and Evanston, right on the northern border of Chicago. Skokie is adjacent to Morton Grove, Evanston, Wilmette, West Ridge Chicago, and Lincolnwood.
The Westfield Old Orchard Mall has been a regional shopping destination for years. There’s plenty more nearby, whether on Skokie Boulevard, Lincolnwood Town Center, or Touhy Avenue in Niles. Skokie is a jackpot for retail-seeking suburbanites and is filled with apartments for rent options. There’s also the beautiful new North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, an outstanding public library, bountiful park space, an array of exceptional public schools, and grandiose plans to develop a massive science and technology center.
