Readers of "West Suburban Living” Magazine once again ranked Geneva as the premier community for dining, shopping and festivals as part of its 2017 “Best of the West” contest.

Geneva was named the top city readers would most like to live (other than choosing their hometown). No other municipality has earned that distinction as many times as Geneva during the magazine’s two decades of competition. Geneva also was selected as the area’s third best “Weekend Getaway” behind Galena and Lake Geneva, Wis.

Festival of the Vine and Swedish Days won first place and honorable mention respectively for “Best Fair or Festival” while the Geneva Arts Fair finished second for “Best Craft or Art Fair” by readers. The Geneva French Market earned third place for “Best Farmers Market.”

Numerous restaurants, stores (along with Geneva Commons), attractions and more were recognized as some of the best in the western suburbs. You can view the entire “West Suburban Living” Magazine voter survey online.

Thank you to the residents, merchants, Geneva Chamber of Commerce and countless stakeholders who all work hard to make Geneva a great place to live.
