Why Live in Ottawa

Ottawa, known as "The Town of Two Rivers," is situated where the Fox River meets the Illinois River, approximately 90 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. This neighborhood is a gateway to several state parks, including the renowned Starved Rock State Park, located within a 10-mile radius. Starved Rock offers over 13 miles of trails leading to canyons and waterfalls, while Buffalo Rock provides panoramic views of the waterways. Ottawa's downtown is vibrant, featuring independently run restaurants, boutiques, antique shops, and craft breweries. The area hosts Ottawa's Third Friday events from May through September, showcasing local arts and history through murals. Housing options range from historic homes dating back to the 1800s to modern subdivisions, with condos primarily east of downtown and townhouses north and south of the Illinois River. The neighborhood is served by Ottawa Elementary School District 141 and Ottawa Township High School District 140, with private options like Marquette Academy and Ottawa Christian Academy, both highly rated. While car dependency is notable, Interstate 80 offers connectivity to Chicago and beyond. Crime rates are lower than the national average, though environmental concerns exist due to severe flood zones near the rivers. For those seeking things to do, Ottawa offers historical sites like Washington Square Park, riverboat cruises, and plans for a new amphitheater along the riverfront.
