Melrose Park, Illinois

Melrose Park, Illinois, is a village on the outskirts of the Chicago metropolitan area. Even with its population of 23,171 and proximity to Chicago, it manages to remain a tight-knit and friendly community with tree-lined streets and affordable single family homes. Of course, this makes it a great place to settle down and raise a family.

The need to entertain that family will give you an excuse to go to Kiddieland, a small but fun local amusement park. When those kids start getting into the little leagues, you'll have access to the parks that dot the village. The main park, Veteran's Park District's Multi-Sports Complex, handles most of the community's needs.

For you entertainment needs, you don't have to range very far. You can't mention "entertainment" in Melrose Park without bringing up harness racing at Maywood Park Racetrack (and yes, you can bet on the races). If racing isn't your thing, and you can't find what you want locally, you'll be only 16 miles (26 kilometers) to the Chicago city center.
