Explore Edison Park
Edison Park is a quaint residential community on Chicago's far northwest side, boasting a variety of parks, a vibrant dining district, and convenient proximity to O'Hare International Airport. A lone Chicago neighborhood jutting out into the suburbs, Edison Park allows folks to enjoy the comfort and convenience of suburban life without having to leave city limits. Families with young children like the selection of elementary schools and daycares to choose from, and everyone seems to be a fan of the annual summer festival that takes over Edison Park's central business blocks for three days every August. Architecture buffs aren't missing anything by living away from the downtown Loop's cluster of world-renowned buildings because Edison Park has some notable structures of it own, designed by famous architects, that have been welcomed to Chicago Landmark status and added to the National Register of Historic Places.
