Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Evanston is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Evanston’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Evanston is a very good place for families to consider.
