Countryside has long been a popular reprieve from the density and buzz of Chicago. The city’s parks and annual community events make it popular with families and professionals who want out of the urban sprawl but wish to stay entertained. Summer concerts in Countryside Park and the annual Winterfest help you to get to know your neighbors, and to beat the Illinois winters.
If you’re looking for character in your apartment or rental, you’ll find it in Countryside. There’s a mix of new and old developments that offer incredible street presence, amazing landscaping, and historic charm. Look for an apartment near Countryside Plaza if you want to be close to all the shopping and local hotspots like Blue Nose Brewery. Chicago is just 17 miles east and easily accessed thanks to the Interstates and metro system.
