Check Out
Evanston!
 Merrick Rose Garden
& Centennial Fountain
 Fountain Square |
Conveniently located just north of
Chicago, Evanston is a stunning natural setting on Lake Michigan. Wide
sandy beaches, historic homes on landscaped streets, tree-lined bicycle paths
and beautiful parks make Evanston a popular homestead for many.
Evanston is summer art fairs, craft
fairs, garden fairs, the Farmer's Market and First Night on New Year's Eve.
It's old trees arching over streets in neighborhoods full of diverse
architectural styles.
Evanston is energetic and vibrant;
Preserving the old (look at our Tallmadge street lights, the original Fountain
Square Fountain now in the Rose Garden), and embracing the new (two exciting
developments coming to out downtown).
And oh, our bookstores! From the
small independents to the Big B's (Barnes & Noble and Borders). Not to
mention our restaurants!

 University Hall |
When it's time to eat, Evanston is an
adventure in dining. From award-winning Mediterranean cuisine and Japanese
sushi to French, Asian and Regional specialties; Evanston's unique restaurants
offer quality food to satisfy the most sophisticated palate.
Evanston is shopping in unique
stores, whether downtown or in the neighborhood shopping areas along Main,
Dempster and Central.
It's a place where citizens care-
passionately- about the city's past and future, and speak up on
issues.
Evanston is urban and
suburban, old and new- a contrast of infinite variety.

Closing or Settlement >Closing Costs
If you are in the process of buying a home, you have probably figured out how much you will need for the down payment, but don't forget about the closing costs associated with the purchase of any property. These additional costs can add up to a significant amount.
Closing costs will vary, depending upon the costs of financing your home loan and the time of the month that you close. Your real estate agent will be able to give you an estimate of all these costs, including the points on your loan, private mortgage insurance (if required), the title search, title insurance, attorneys' fees, and any transfer taxes or recording fees changed by local government agencies. There may also be property taxes, homeowners' association fees and insurance that must be prepaid.
