Itasca, IL

Itasca is a DuPage County village in Chicago's western suburbs. Its name comes from Lake Itasca, and the village has long mixed residential neighborhoods, business parks, country-club greenery, and commuter access. Corporate and insurance offices have been part of the local economy, while Metra and expressway connections keep it tied tightly to the region. Itasca feels established and orderly, a compact suburban place where older homes, office campuses, parks, and O'Hare-area business travel all sit close together.
