Oakton & Lorel Property, Skokie, IL

Oakton & Lorel Property sits at the intersection of two major east-west corridors in Skokie, placing residents within a short walk of Oakton Park and its lighted athletic fields, playgrounds, and 1.2-mile paved loop. The park’s southern edge connects directly to the North Shore Channel Trail, which extends uninterrupted to the Lakefront Trail in Chicago. Less than a quarter-mile north, the Skokie Public Library and the Skokie Park District’s Weber Leisure Center offer indoor pools, fitness rooms, and year-round programming. Daily needs are met by the Village Crossing shopping center, anchored by a full-service grocery store and pharmacy, all reachable on foot or by a two-minute drive. Commuters benefit from quick access to the Edens Expressway and the CTA Yellow Line Oakton station, while Metra’s Union Pacific North Line at Morton Grove is a five-minute drive. The surrounding blocks are lined with mature trees that provide shade along residential streets and help moderate summer temperatures.
