Why Live in Ottawa

Ottawa, Illinois, situated approximately 90 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, is recognized for its location at the confluence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers. This small city serves as a scenic gateway to several state parks, including the notable Starved Rock State Park, which offers over 13 miles of trails leading to canyons and waterfalls. Washington Square Park in downtown Ottawa is historically significant as the site of the first Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858. The Illinois River remains a tourist attraction, with the Sainte Genevieve Riverboat providing sightseeing cruises. Ottawa's housing options range from historic homes to modern subdivisions, including condos and townhouses. The downtown area is lively with independently run restaurants, boutiques, antique shops, and craft breweries. Ottawa hosts Third Friday events from May through September, highlighting local arts and retailers.
