Cicero Overview
Located in the heart of Cook County, Cicero is an established Illinois hot spot that ranks within the Top 10 largest municipalities in the state. At just under 6 miles in size, this bustling city is home to over 80,000 residents, and remains a popular option for anyone considering a move to Illinois.
What is the history of Cicero?
Cicero boasts a colorful history to say the least. Al Capone infamously called the city home for a time during the peak of his notoriety, and unrest among the civil rights movement of the 1960s saw the city make national headlines during numerous clashes. The 1980s, however, saw the city gain a new influx of population as well as industry, and current Cicero continues to enjoy revitalization in the form of new townhouse construction and retail growth.
How is the weather in Cicero?
Like much of the midwest, residents of Cicero apartments can expect warm summers and often snowy winters. Spring tends to be a bit on the rainy side, and autumn is quite pleasant, with temps typically hovering in the low 70s through October.
How do I get around town?
The city is serviced by the PACE Bus system, as well as a pair of railways - the BNSF and the Beltline. Chicago's Union Station is easily reached via the BNSF, and the bus systems covers much of the Cicero city limits. Biking around the city has become popular in recent years as well, although most Cicero apartment dwellers still rely upon a personal automobile to traverse the city.
What is the Cicero commute like?
Route 290 lies directly north of the city, with Route 55 due south. Both roads are heavily traveled, and can see standard 9-to-5 traffic on the commute. Ogden Avenue remains the main roadway through the center of town, as typically moves at a brisk pace, while more rural options such as Route 43 offer 'scenic route' options for those residing in Cicero rentals.
What are the local media outlets?
Chicago boasts most of the daily newspapers that service Cicero, although a variety of online outlets such as MySuburbanLife.com concentrate on more city-specific issues. Radio tends to be wide-reaching, with close to 60 stations dominating the airwaves. Genres such as classic rock, tejano, sporting news and urban are all well represented, and most major broadcasting affiliates are easily found on televisions around the city.
Why live in Cicero, IL?
For those yearning to enjoy close proximity to the big city excitement and job opportunities of Chicago without sacrificing the small town feel of rural Illinois, Cicero apartments truly offer the best of both possible worlds. Large enough in population to enjoy quality schools and a solid tax base, Cicero still maintains a charming individuality all its own.
What Cicero landmarks should I see?
The Hawthorne Works Tower remains a proud monument to the famed manufacturing plant, which at one point employed close to 40,000 workers. The St. Mary of Czestochowa Church is an awe-inspiring work of architecture, effortlessly demonstrating Polish cathedral flair, and true crime fans will take note that it was the site of Al Capone's sister's wedding. The ChicagoLand Sports Hall of Fame is yet another landmark to call Cicero home, and is a must-visit spot for even the most marginal of fan.
What is there to do around Cicero?
Take in a performance at the famed Chodi Auditorium, capable of holding upwards of 1,000 people and recently added to the National Historic Registry, or cheer on your favorite jockey with a visit to the Hawthorne Race Course. Al's Italian Restaurant is the spot to go for an authentic slice of deep dish pizza, and Columbus Park is a scenic spot complete with summer swimming pool and neighboring golf course.
Any annual festivals or Cicero events to know?
Given their close proximity to Chicago, Cicero apartments make an excellent choice for festival fans. Riot Fest is held every September, drawing thousands of live music fanatics annually, and the truly enormous Lollapalooza Festival has become an Illinois staple. The Cicero Fairgrounds hosts a travelling carnival every summer, and a wide array of holiday-specific food and craft fairs can be found every season with ease.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Chicago, complete with its legendary theater and museum scenes (not to mention those hot dogs!), is a quick drive to the east. A number of camping options can be found across rural Illinois for those eager to re-connect with nature, and the rock-n-roll mecca of Detroit is only a few hours away as well.
Where is the best place to move in Cicero?
While many families tend to congregate near the suburban regions of Ridgeland Avenue, Cicero rentals are as diverse as those seeking them. From economic one-bedroom units to full family spreads close to area schools, we are confident the ideal Cicero apartment is out there waiting to make your life complete. Happy hunting!
