The Art of
Wilmette Living

The North Shore neighborhood in Wilmette has a rich historical past, but that hasn't stopped the community from earning an acclaimed reputation as future-facing. Its pledge to promote and create a more sustainable environment through strategic green initiatives has led to it being recognized as a Tree City by The National Arbor Day Foundation for its devotion to urban forests. Located near Lake Michigan, it serves as a hub for nature lovers and enthusiasts of intimate communities where residents enjoy the best of both urbanity and wildlife. Its diverse mix of lush parks, cozy small businesses and inspiring cultural landmarks each contribute to Wilmette's distinguished reputation as a thriving, livable village and one of the most prestigious communities of luxury apartments in the nation.
