The best of the best, just west of the rest. Regularly listed as a top place to live, don’t let room for growing families and good schools fool you. Wary of big box stores and mindful of diversity and inclusion, Oak Park isn’t just another suburb. This mini-city has a committed, active citizenry, great public spaces and excellent dining, shopping and culture too. And, yes, that architect's houses.
A long-time local favorite, recently reimagined.
For book lovers of any age.
An art deco gem on Lake Street, this classic theater shows new releases and more. Be sure to look around. Recent renovations brought in original elements like fixtures and lighting from now-gone area theaters. Beloved for its location and lower-than-expected prices, we also appreciate their inclusive hiring practices and the free mints after the show.
