Around the Neighborhood
General
The village of Northfield is located about 19 miles north-northwest of Chicago and (mostly) west of the Edens Expressway. It boasts shops and restaurants galore, not to mention big box retailers and discount outlets in the immediate vicinity. Northfield features a number of bicycle and jogging trails and is one of the few villages in the Chicagoland area that issues licenses for keeping horses. Residents fond of outdoor recreation enjoy easy access to the Skokie Lagoons forest preserve east of the expressway, which offers boating and bridling in addition to biking and running. Northfield also takes great pride in its community center, which contains a full-size gymnasium, a drop-down batting cage, a fitness center, and programs for everything from tennis to skating to baseball to summer camp. The overwhelming majority of the residences in Northfield are single-family homes, with a small crop of townhomes and condominiums thrown in for good measure. For commuters, Metra and Amtrak stations both stop in neighboring Glenview.
