“The World’s Largest Village”
Skokie is about 15 miles north of Chicago and is nicknamed "The World's Largest Village." The North Skokie neighborhood is the primarily residential part of the village for residents looking for a place to relax.

Skokie has a history of being one of the quickest population booms in the Chicago area, drawing people from various backgrounds to the area. "It is a total melting pot," Lisa Sanders, the top-ranked broker in the Chicago area for several years, says.
