Colorful abstract artwork adorns the walls, contributing vibrancy and personality.

Chicago sprawls across roughly 228 square miles on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, with nearly 28 miles of lakefront where glass towers catch the morning light and commuter trains rumble through neighborhoods shaped by more than a century of reinvention. This is a city built on bold architecture and bolder ambition, where you can stand beneath the steel ribs of the “L” tracks one moment and find yourself strolling through Grant Park’s open lawns the next.
Renters here choose between classic greystone walk-ups in Lakeview, converted lofts in the West Loop’s Fulton Market district, and sleek high-rises with lake views in Streeterville. Logan Square draws crowds to its Milwaukee Avenue dining scene and the elevated 606 trail, while Lincoln Park offers tree-lined streets near the free zoo. River North packs art galleries alongside bustling restaurants, and Hyde Park anchors the South Side with the Museum of Science and Industry nearby.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
