Oak Park is one of Chicago’s most celebrated suburbs, located about nine miles west of downtown and home to the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings in the world, including his Home and Studio and the landmark Unity Temple. The birthplace of Ernest Hemingway, the village blends a rich cultural legacy with walkable, tree-canopied neighborhoods and a progressive, civically engaged community.
