Our school district is located near Chicago and includes land located in several suburbs. The population in our area has been growing for several years. Some schools have many more students than they had a few years ago, others have about the same number.
Many people live in our community and work in the city.
There have been many single family homes, condominiums, and apartments built in our area. There is little open land remaining. Over the last 10 years, the population and the demand for housing has grown. The MPC is now gathering information about the amount of rental housing in the Chicago area to learn about rent costs, apartment sizes, and what apartments are available. They will next talk with rental property owners, developers, and renters to find out what opportunities and problems there are to building and moving into quality rental apartments.
