Located 12 miles SW of the Chicago Loop, Burbank is one of the younger communities in Cook County.

Burbank ranks well in a combination of education, crime, cost of living and diversity.

Living in Burbank has a suburban feel, which can be nice for families looking for more space than larger densely packed cities for the money and a good area to raise children.

Although the city is almost entirely made up of residential streets, Burbank is 10 minutes from a massive cluster of Cook County Forest Preserves, ideal for exploring on foot, by bike or on horseback. There are two malls in the area, and plenty of family-owned restaurants along 79th Avenue, offering everything from Polish sausage to shawarma.
