Nestled in a natural setting with spacious lots and custom homes, the Village of Kildeer is ranked as one of the top suburbs in which to live based on factors such as schools, amenities, services, transportation and crime. The Village is located in the southwest corner of Lake County, in Ela Township, 29 miles northwest of Chicago and neighbor to Lake Zurich, Deer Park, Long Grove, Hawthorn Woods, and Barrington.
Lakes, ponds, streams, woods, wetlands and natural habitats prevail throughout the Village's 2,625 acres. There are many golf courses in the surrounding areas, as well as riding stables. Lakewood Forest Preserve is located at Rt. 176 and Wauconda Road with picnic areas, Lake County Museum, lakes for fishing, physical fitness trails, and facilities for hiking, ice skating, and tobogganing.
The Village’s growth has been carefully and thoughtfully guided since its incorporation in 1958. There are numerous shopping and dining options within the village, and many more in the surrounding communities of Long Grove, Lake Zurich, Buffalo Grove and beyond.
Kildeer is served by three highly accredited public school districts, including Adlai E Stevenson High School, and several parochial schools.

"The City of Evanston is the first suburb north of Chicago located on Lake Michigan. With its close proximity to Chicago, Evanston is extremely easy to reach. Evanston is only a half hour drive away from the bustling O'Hare International Airport and an hour away from Chicago Midway International Airport. The Chicago Transit Authority has extensive bus routes and trains running to and from Evanston to the city, the surrounding suburbs and the airports."

"Northwestern University, a major landmark of Evanston, was actually founded before the City itself. In 1851, the plans for Northwestern began and in 1855, Northwestern University opened its doors for the first time to 10 students. The founders of Northwestern, one being John Evans, submitted to the county judge their plans for a city and their wishes to rename the town Evanston in 1854. In 1857, the town of Evanston was named.
Today, Evanston is still thriving as an independent city. There are many cultural outlets in Evanston, there is a thriving business economy and public lakefront recreation activities. Evanston continues to prosper and refuses to be overshadowed by Chicago."
The City's website is absolutely packed with useful, fun information about everything from dining to shopping to museums and more.
Evanston boasts one of the largest and most diverse arts communities in the state, and there are abundant opportunities to get involved through the city's Cultural Arts Division. Art Week Evanston, held every October, highlights the various visual and performing arts disciplines.

Two of the most popular summer festivals are the Ethnic Arts Festival and the Lakeshore Arts Festival. The free Starlight Concert Series is held at various parks throughout the summer.
