Winnetka is a leafy, upscale North Shore village on Lake Michigan with tree-lined streets, boutique shops, quality restaurants, lakefront beaches and parks—an easygoing, safe, walkable base that makes multi-week stays pleasant and restorative between shifts.
You’re also a short Metra or car ride from Evanston (vibrant dining, arts and Northwestern University) and downtown Chicago’s museums, nightlife and airports, so quiet weekdays can be balanced with plenty of big‑city options for nights and weekends.
