The McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University is one of the country's largest graduate medical education consortiums, training residents and fellows across Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, Lurie Children's, and the Jesse Brown VA. Most clinical training happens on the Streeterville campus downtown, steps from the lakefront and the Magnificent Mile.
Where you live shapes your whole residency. We'll help you weigh commute, call schedule, budget, and lifestyle so your home actually fits your program — whether that means walking to campus or a quick ride on the Red or Purple Line.
Chicago pairs big-city amenities with a cost of living well below the coasts — a real advantage on a resident's salary. World-class dining, 26 miles of lakefront, dozens of distinct neighborhoods, and excellent "L" transit mean you can live car-free and still get everywhere you need to be.
Rent or buy? With multi-year residencies and strong physician-loan options, buying can make real financial sense versus renting near the hospital. We'll run the numbers with you and connect you to a local agent who knows the market and the realities of a resident's schedule — so whichever way you go, the move is seamless.
Guidance on buying vs. renting, physician mortgages, and relocating for residency — written for doctors making the move.
We're a free service for the doctors, residents, and medical students moving to Chicago for Northwestern and McGaw. Tell us about your move and we'll take it from here.
