Ottawa is a small city located about eighty miles southwest of Chicago, where the Fox River and the Illinois River come together. The community makes a big deal out of preserving and celebrating its role in American history: a monument commemorates the site of the first Lincoln-Douglas debate in 1858, the preserved John Hossack House served as a station on the Underground Railroad, and the founder of the Boy Scouts of America was a longtime resident. The surrounding countryside offers a tranquil atmosphere, and the nearby Buffalo Rock, Starved Rock, and Matthiessen State Parks provide beautiful venues for spending quality time outdoors. The local rental market offers a diverse selection of apartments and single-family homes, with great options available for any budget or lifestyle.
