We prefer suburbia. And we're proud of it. Among those suburban home owners, however, some tend to miss the adrenaline rush of the city. Take Winnetka, Illinois, located on Chicago's North Shore. Homes are larger than anything you'd find in downtown Chicago.
Local schools are top performers, and crime rates are comparatively lower.
Based on population projections, this town of 11,793 residents is expected to have 11,424 residents in 2003. While this is due in part to the fact that most of the land here has been developed, the underlying suggestion here seems to be that this is a relatively static place. People come to Winnetka to settle. And indeed, they settle comfortably - and quietly. The town's population figures have remained fairly constant throughout most of the 20th century.
