About Park Ridge
Park Ridge (~39,000 residents) is a classic northwest suburb — brick Georgians, bungalows, and Cape Cods on walkable, tree-lined blocks, with a genuine Uptown district of shops, restaurants, and the historic Pickwick Theatre. Known as Hillary Clinton's hometown and for top-tier Maine South schools, it blends small-town charm with strong commuter access.
