So, Where is North Chicago Exactly?<br />
Depending on what you’re looking for, it can take a couple of days or several weeks to find an<br />
apartment. We recommend that you visit for awhile to go apartment hunting. Although it can<br />
become costly trying to factor in airfare, lodging, car rental, etc‐it’s worth it. You’ll want to check<br />
out the surrounding area, safety/security, distance to RFUMS, etc. Plus, some of those great deals<br />
may not even be advertised in the local classifies or online. Sometimes you just have to be in the<br />
right place at the right time.<br />
North Chicago is home to the Veteran's Administration Hospital, Abbott Laboratories, Complete<br />
Packaging Corp., and the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, the nation's only naval training facility.<br />
