Consejos para la ciudad

Cómo moverse

Public Transportation | Metra

Steps from the unit is the Wilmette Metra stop, which is a high-speed train that goes from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Chicago's Union Station. From Wilmette, the Metra will speed you to downtown Chicago between 20-30 minutes.
Cómo moverse

Public Transportation | CTA

Approximately 1 mile from the unit is the Linden CTA stop, which services the Purple and Purple Line Express to the City of Chicago. A cheaper, and slightly longer option to the Downtown Chicago Loop, the CTA has more stops than the Metra and services popular areas such as Rogers Park (Loyola University), Lakeview (stop @ Wrigley Field), Lincoln Park, Old Town, and River North.
