The Stephen’s Convention Center. Usually not busy except when some amateur car show comes into town around the end on November. Plenty of space, although not sure how much the HOA fees are

Cheers
Dave
PS; congrats to your son!

So the nice thing about the little towns ringing Ohare is you can get back and forth without getting on the highways. I'd try to avoid commutes that require him jumping on 90/94. That stretch of 90/94 can easily result in another 20 minutes of crawling along.

Personally this is what I would do, he could access Ohare from streets like Mannheim, Irving Park, lots of options. I assume the airport workers can get in via other entrances.

I live in Itasca, just west of O'Hare. I'm at the terminal parking within 15 minutes most days. Very small suburb with 9K people, very good schools, northeastern-most corner of DuPage County. Taxes are high, but due to the # of corporate offices here, they are on the low-end of the spectrum for DuPage. The good houses usually sell without being listed, but I know the local brokers so I could get him some visibility if he's interested. Tim's been to my house, he will probably say it's a POS, but I like it well enough to tolerate being in Illinois.

I live out near Rockford (Belvidere area) I can be in the parking deck at O'hare in an hour or less. If he is willing to extend his commute a bit he will find tremendous value out here - especially if he wants a space with a place to work on cars.
