"And each time I roam, Chicago is / Calling me home, Chicago is / Why I just grin just like a clown / It's my kind of town" (- Frank Sinatra, “My Kind of Town”)
North Chicago sounds like it would be the north side of the city of Chicago, but it’s actually a suburb so far north that it’s almost in Wisconsin. North Chicago is in Lake County, and it’s the home of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Like other suburbs in the greater Chicagoland area, North Chicago still provides great access to the rest of the huge variety of big-city things the area has to offer. You’ll never have to get bored when you’re only 30 miles away from Chicago, or just as little as a few feet away from gorgeous Lake Michigan.
Even though North Chicago is in the normally pricey Lake County region of Chicagoland, you’re in luck if you need to find more affordable housing here
