Rating 4.25 out of 5 95 reviews
Wilmette, Illinois is a wonderful place to grow up and raise a family. It is a beautiful town with much to do for all ages. It is directly next to Lake Michigan making it the perfect place for the summer. The school districts in the North Shore are incredible. They are ranked top 10 in the state and truly give your children a great education. On the other hand, it is very expensive to live here. Because of the wonderful location and amazing schools- taxes are very high and the price of homes goes up each year. People around the Northshore have so much money they dont know what to do with it!
Wilmette is a beautiful small town with a sense of community throughout. It feels as if everybody knows each other. The city has a beautiful downtown area with many restaurants, stores, and amenities. It is a very family-friendly town with many things to do.
A very safe and welcoming town! The food selection is wonderful and everything is family owned. Our neighbors are willing to help out whenever on the NextDoor app with anything from babysitting to job opportunities to fixing a leaky faucet! The village is kept and very welcoming, there are many nearby site-attractions and parks for family-friendly fun!
