Sycamore, Illinois combines historic charm with modern living approximately 55 miles west-northwest of Chicago. The DeKalb County seat features a downtown district anchored by an impressive 1904 limestone courthouse. The Sycamore Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, encompasses more than 200 preserved properties that tell the story of the city's development since 1835.
Located along Illinois Route 64, Sycamore provides convenient access to nearby DeKalb, home to Northern Illinois University. The city's rental market offers value, with one-bedroom apartment rates averaging $815 - notably less than the Illinois state average of $1,634. Each October, the courthouse square transforms during the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival, a community tradition since 1962 featuring seasonal celebrations and a parade that draws visitors from across the region.
