I love Skokie! I worked in the schools for 12 years and wanted to live nowhere else. It's wonderful. It's very diverse (as in there is no majority and minority) all races, religions, and cultures can be found here. Wonderful people that are very down to earth and many choices for food and recreation. The park district is one of the strongest, the library is wonderful, we're close to the lake but have plenty of affordable housing options. It's easily accessible, with the CTA and the yellow line. Right off of the highway. It's the northshore without the attitude problem.
I love living in Skokie. The diversity of people is unlike any other town, city, village I’ve ever been to. It’s equidistant to the city, lake, rural areas, and has a great mall for shopping. Anything you would need is nearby and the people for the most part are friendly!
It's great living in skokie. I'm 5 minutes from 94 and a 15 min drive to downtown. Home prices are going up big time because of how great the schools are. As a young family I couldnt be happier with the quality of education, beautiful parks, new shopping is always being built and location. We have access to two great shopping areas old orchard and village crossing. It is also very safe. I see police cars everywhere and the whole neighborhood is very vigilant in reporting crimes. The village of skokie picks up trash twice a week and also come by without asking and trims our tree over out back alley. Had a water main break in the cold.....fixed in 2 hours. I mean come on. They are well organized and funded.
