Near Chicago along Lake Michigan, the Village of Wilmette<br />
provides shopping in both a quaint historic downtown<br />
setting, as well as traditional suburban shopping centers and<br />
business districts. With a history of great architecture, Wilmette is<br />
the site of the Baha’i House of Worship, a landmark recognized as<br />
one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois, which receives an estimated<br />
300,000 visitors annually. This amazing structure is one of 30<br />
historical landmarks throughout the Village. Residents are attracted<br />
to Wilmette for its schools including nationally renowned New<br />
Trier High School, as well as superior private schools. Wilmette is<br />
a great place to live, work, shop and play. The achievement shown<br />
by Wilmette schools is shared by Village government. Not only has<br />
the Village maintained high standards of public service, but also<br />
an AAA credit rating, the highest awarded, illustrating Wilmette’s<br />
responsible financial management. Wilmette is one of the select<br />
communities to have both nationally accredited Fire and Police<br />
Departments.<br />
Transportation<br />
Wilmette is fortunate to have excellent public transportation available. The<br />
Village is served by Metra Railroad service, CTA rapid transit service, and<br />
