    Just west of Chicago, Forest Park (60130) mixes small-town warmth with city convenience. The walkable Madison Street strip hums with indie shops, Brown Cow Ice Cream, Jimmy’s Place and O’Sullivan’s, plus coffee at Kribi and Blue Max; errands are simple with Target in town and Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods minutes away. Outdoor time is easy at the Park District’s Aquatic Center, Forest Bark Dog Park, and nearby Miller Meadow and the Des Plaines River Trail. Expect true four seasons—snowy winters, warm summers, and colorful fall walks under mature tree canopies. Commuters value the CTA Blue Line terminus and fast I-290 access, putting the Loop close. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,800, with most listings roughly $1,300–$2,600 in the past few months. The vibe is friendly and community-forward, with a mix of long-timers, young professionals, and families, low-key nightlife along Madison, and traditions like the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quirky Casket Races—plus rich history in nearby historic cemeteries and the Haymarket Martyrs Monument.
