Finding food and fun near Optima

Posted 9/11/2009 by Erik Stonikas

Optima recently posted new aerial photos of its new Skokie development, Optima Old Orchard Woods. In one direction you'll see the Chicago skyline off in the distance; in the other, a large swath of trees. This forest preserve is a broad section of a contiguous strip of greenery along the Chicago River. Adjacent or within it are the Glen View Club and the Chick Evans Golf Course.

Optima's location gives residents easy access to the Edens Expressway, Old Orchard Hospital, and the Old Orchard Shopping Center. Besides the convenience of easy holiday and general shopping, the variety of restaurants at the shopping center is a neighborhood amenity particular to this location, an exception for suburban living.
