About Evanston:

Today, Evanston continues to be one of the most attractive cities in the nation in which to live and do business. It is a cosmopolitan city with a diverse population. Evanston has an unusual natural setting on the shore of Lake Michigan. Wide sandy beaches, historic homes on landscaped boulevards, tree lined bicycle paths, and beautiful parks offer a variety of recreational activities. Evanston has an outstanding transportation system. Metra trains and CTA trains, as well as an extensive bus network provide access to other suburbs as well as downtown Chicago. Evanston also allows its residents to experience museums, art galleries, music performances, and theatre in many venues.
