If you're looking for a place to take the family even if it's for ice cream, a movie in the park, summer fests, or to explore the downtown area, then this is the place to go. With so many activities the community does and provides you wouldn't want to miss it! Everyone is very friendly and looks out for one another.
Forest Park is an ideal suburb with a small, close connected feel yet with super fast access to the big city - both resources afforded there and access to Chicago via train, metro, and bus if you don't feel like driving! There are parks everywhere (kids and dogs!) and many local activities to be involved in. Not to mention the best neighborhood pool around...
Since moving to Forest Park, I am charmed on the daily with this community. In fact, the slogan of the town is "big city access, small town charm." The community is diverse, people are friendly, and the streets are clean. Madison Street is bustling with great shops and restaurants. I see myself living here for a long time.
