Centered on Des Plaines, 60016 blends suburban calm with access to city energy, set just northwest of Chicago and minutes from O’Hare. Expect true four-season weather—snowy winters, lush springs, warm summers, and colorful falls—across tree-lined blocks of mid-century homes and garden apartments. The vibe is diverse and multigenerational, with a friendly, community-oriented pace. Daily life revolves around Downtown Des Plaines and Metropolitan Square for coffee, groceries, and dining, plus Jewel-Osco, Aldi, and nearby Mariano’s. Outdoor time is easy at Lake Park/Lake Opeka, the Des Plaines River Trail, and Prairie Lakes Community Center. Arts and events pop at the restored Des Plaines Theatre and the seasonal Taste of Des Plaines, while evenings range from cozy pubs to nearby Rivers Casino. Commutes are simple via Metra UP-NW (Des Plaines and Cumberland) and quick I-294/I-90 access. Pet- and family-friendly streets, sidewalks, and nearby dog areas like Beck Lake stand out. According to Zillow Market Trends (past few months), median asking rent has been stable with a moderate price range.
