Lake Forest, IL Apartments for Rent
Lake Forest, Illinois, situated along Lake Michigan's shoreline, combines historic architecture with sophisticated living. Located 30 miles north of Chicago, this North Shore community began as a train stop in 1857 and has evolved into a picturesque lakefront city. The community's dedication to preservation shines through its architecture, including Market Square, a significant shopping district designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw in 1916. Current apartment rentals in Lake Forest average $2,887 for a one-bedroom unit across the city's 17 square miles.
Nature enthusiasts appreciate Lake Forest's 700 acres of protected open space, featuring wetlands, prairies, and woodlands connected by 12 miles of walking trails. Two Metra stations provide convenient access to downtown Chicago. The community is home to Lake Forest College, founded in 1857, and Lake Forest Academy, established in 1868. The area supports a strong business presence, with several corporate offices located within the city limits. Recreation options include Lake Forest Beach, the Gorton Community Center, and Market Square's shops and restaurants. The city maintains strong ties to its sporting heritage, particularly in polo, having established one of the earliest polo fields west of the Alleghenies.
