Highland Park, Illinois- A Great Place to Live

I have lived in Highland Park for the past 30 years and raised my family here. This is really the town that has it all. All of the pictures on the home page are pictures taken in Highland Park. Located in the heart of Chicago's North Shore, town features include:

• A vibrant, bustling downtown with great shopping and places to eat Lake Michigan and the beach
• Fabulous schools
• World famous Ravinia
• The Botanic Gardens
• Great parks, golf courses and recreation
• Commuter train station
• Magnificent architecture
• Highly regarded Highland Park Hospital

I have included links to everything Highland Park. Feel free to contact me to find out all that Highland Park offers. If you have a recommendation for a link that should be included call me at 847-681-4159 or Email me
