Perched on a wooded ridge above the East Branch of the DuPage River, Woodridge is a southwest Chicago suburb that earns its name in the most literal way possible. Located about 30 miles from downtown Chicago, the village sits comfortably between Naperville and Downers Grove, giving residents easy access to two of the Chicago metro's most lively corridors. An expansive off-road bikeway system winds through the area, and the Morton Arboretum is just a short drive away for those who want to trade sidewalks for forest paths. Chicago Premium Outlets nearby adds a solid shopping option without requiring a trip into the city.
Renters in Woodridge will find a solid mix of apartment communities, townhome-style rentals, and garden-style layouts spread across a well-maintained, 10-square-mile village. Options range from cozy studios to spacious three-bedroom floor plans, giving renters plenty of choices at various price points. Incorporated in 1959 with fewer than 500 residents, Woodridge has grown steadily into a close-knit community of more than 34,000 people, and Money magazine once ranked it among the best places to live in America.
