Have you run The 606 yet?

I love how this elevated path lets us glide above Chicago traffic while soaking in skyline views. Each September neighbors turn the trail into a moving block-party during the Bloomingdale Trail Run—a 5K plus kid dashes that supports year-round programs. The line itself dates back to 1873, reinvented as a park in 2015 and now welcoming more than one million visits a year.

Trails like this remind me how green space shapes the way we live. Curious about homes with easy access to parks and paths?

Let’s chat—your ideal lifestyle could be just a few miles away!
