Location, Location, Location!!! And Great Schools!!! Oak Park is within reasonable commuting distance of 1.6 million jobs. According to a study issued in 2000 by the Center for Neighborhood Technology and the Surface Transportation Policy Project, Oak Park residents have the lowest estimated transportation costs of any suburb in the Chicago region, due to its location, design, and access to transportation options. This section of Ridgeland is higher than most of Oak Park. It is historically and geographically a continental divide between great water basins - the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico, Canada's Hudson Bay, and Great Lakes draining into the St. Lawrence River leading to the Atlantic Ocean. The house sits on the "wave-cut" cliff of Ridgeland's shore from ancient Lake Chicago. The high, dry ground formed by this ridge encouraged early settlement in Oak Park in 1837. The erosion caused by waves swept sand and gravel around the south and west forming what is called the "Oak Park Spit." The beach was formed in glacial times, 12,000 years ago. The line of the appendix shaped spit can be seen on the map of Lake Chicago. Surrounding this enviable location is an abundance of public transportation, letting you get into, out of and around Oak Park effortlessly. Two Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) elevated rail lines (Blue and Green), the Metra (Union Pacific West Line) train, ten PACE bus lines, and eight CTA bus lines serve Oak Park. The Village also operates a shuttle service between important sites and attractions within the community.
