Fort Sheridan, located between Lake Michigan and the Skokie River corridor, is a historic and lakeside Highwood neighborhood with blufftop trails and preserved military-era architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fort Sheridan Metra station and the parade-ground streets, where limestone buildings, quiet lanes, and lake breezes set the tone. Landmark structures at Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve and the Fort Sheridan Historic District frame daily walks with wide-open views and formal landscaping. A short drive south, Highwood’s dining strip adds local flavor with Froggy’s French Café, Alex’s Washington Gardens, and the Highwood Theatre. Housing reads as a mix of stately brick officers’ quarters and newer townhomes tucked into mature trees. The shoreline paths and ravines keep the pace outdoorsy and calm.
