Brookfield Overview
Located a mere dozen or so miles from downtown Chicago, Brookfield combines the charm and convenience of a slower-paced municipality with all of the opportunities that life in Illinois implies.
What is the history of Brookfield?
Settled in the late 1800s by a lawyer from Chicago, Brookfield quickly established itself with a number of settlements around a pair of railroad stops. U.S. Highway 34 opened in 1920, leading to more automobile traffic and thus body population, and the addition of the Brookfield Zoo in the 1930s helped further assist in the city's appeal. Today, Brookfield apartments act largely as a bedroom community for the Chicago job market, home to a number of families and young professionals.
How is the weather in Brookfield?
Summers and spring tend to be sunny and quite pleasant, while winters can be snow-filled and blustery. Autumn is generally book ended by crisp, cool evenings and dry moderate mornings.
How do I get around town?
The METRA rail system stops at a trio of locations within the city limits, and the Pace bus systems offers transfers to Chicago and beyond. Most locals still rely upon a personal vehicle for most of their travel needs, although bicycling and taxis remain popular options. O'Hare and Midway Airports are both a short drive away, offering multiple domestic and international flights.
What is the Brookfield commute like?
Route 45 runs north to south, while Route 34 covers east to west across the city, and commuters to Chicago proper can expect daily delays on the regular. Fender benders and road construction in Illinois are commonplace, pushing a number of commuting residents of Brookfield apartments to the rail service.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Chicago Tribune' is far and away the most popular daily newspaper, with broadcast affiliates for major networks such as CNN and FOX found with ease. Radio is an eclectic affair, ranging in format from political and sport talk to classical, hip-hop and modern rock.
Why live in Brookfield, IL?
Lauded for its school system and ideal for those commuting to the Chicago job market, Brookfield apartments are a great way to explore life in Illinois. Flush with a number of cultural hot spots as well as a diverse array of restaurants and nightlife options, this is a 'little big city' with personality to spare.
What Brookfield landmarks should I see?
The Grossdale Train Station harkens all the way back to the late 1800s and the dawn of the city, while the Brookfield Zoo still remains a top draw with its historic collection of animals far and wide. Jaycee Ehlert Park is the largest of its kind in the city, home to a number of walking trails and scenic places ideal for a picnic or nap.
What is there to do around Brookfield?
The Galloping Ghost Arcade is the largest of its kind in the entire nation, offering over 500 games to Brookfield apartment residents, while the hot slices at Paisan's Pizza are a must-try. The Riverside Historical Museum is an excellent way to catch up on local lore, and Thatcher Woods boasts over 200 acres of pristine natural beauty to explore.
Any annual festivals or Brookfield events to know?
German Fest is held every year in the city, combining live music and, of course, beer, for a delightful mix. Fall Fest is hugely popular as well, and the July 4th Celebration is a true patriotic blast. Chicago proper offers a wide range of large festivals as well, including Lollapalooza and Riot Fest.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Hit the road south to the antique stores and crafting shops of Indiana's heartland, or spend a weekend getting close to nature at one of the many camping or boating spots within Illinois proper. Detroit is still a heavy draw for the live music lover in you, while much of greater Michigan entices with luxurious casinos and scenic wine tours among the cherry blossoms. Of course, O'Hare Airport is always nearby as well for the true jet setters in your home!
Where is the best place to move in Brookfield?
Much of the city is divided by the Salt Creek, although both sides of town are popular in their own right. From roomy, 4-bedroom family units complete with pet-friendly policies and on-site parking, to hip and cozy efficiencies ideal for the single tenant eager to work in the exciting ambiance of the Windy City, Brookfield apartments are as diverse as the residents that call them home. So what are you waiting for? Start your search for the next perfect apartment in Brookfield today, and start seeing all the benefits of an Illinois zip code without further delay!
