Morton Grove Apartments

In 2007, Family Circle Magazine rated Morton Grove one of the nation’s ten best cities for families. The village, located 13 miles northwest of the Loop and 8 miles northeast of O’Hare Airport, is right in the thick of the action, bordered by Glenview, Skokie, Niles, and the Edens Expressway. Though primarily residential in character, with modest single-family homes and, to a lesser extent, small apartment buildings, Morton Grove is by no means lacking in retail and commercial activity. What’s more, a giant swath of Cook County Forest Preserve bisects the village, offering excellent recreational opportunities to walkers and bikers by providing easy access to the North Branch Trail, which meanders 20 miles from the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago through Morton Grove and then to the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe. As a bonus, commuting residents are blessed by the proximity of the Metra train, which cuts diagonally through the heart of the village, with stops about half a mile south of Dempster Street and a quarter-mile north of Golf Road.
