For the *eighth* year in a row, Chicago has been named the "Best Big City in the US" by Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards.
Here's an idea for you empty nesters: downsize and simplify your life. Suburban $500k homes are in high demand...whereas $500k condos in one of the best cities in the world are in a buyer's market! Trade your show shoveling and staircases for amenities & elevators, security & sunsets. Grandkids will love your pool! Everything walkable or a quick uber away...lakefront, river, restaurants, shopping, museums, theater, churches and the best doctors and hospitals in the world. And you might be surprised by the community you'll find within your own building. I'm happy to help you explore the idea.
1. Chicago
It's no wonder Chicago is topping this list yet again. A world-class destination known for its impressive architecture, first-rate museums, brilliant chefs, and massive brewing scene, it’ll take several repeat visits to get through your list of must-dos. Most people start downtown—from the Magnificent Mile to the ritzy Gold Coast to funky Old Town—but there are 77 neighborhoods to explore, where you'll find cutting-edge restaurants, chilled-out corner bars, and, no matter where you go, some of the most pleasant people you'll find anywhere.
