  }}</ref>  The village is bordered by [[Evanston, Illinois|Evanston]] to the east, [[Chicago]] to the southeast and southwest, [[Lincolnwood, Illinois|Lincolnwood]] to the south, [[Niles, Illinois|Niles]] to the southwest, [[Morton Grove, Illinois|Morton Grove]] to the west, [[Glenview, Cook County, Illinois|Glenview]] to the northwest, and [[Wilmette, Illinois|Wilmette]] to the north.

The village's street circulation is a street-grid pattern, with a major east–west thoroughfare every half mile: Old Orchard Road, Golf Road, Church Street, Dempster Street, Main Street, Oakton Street, Howard Street, and Touhy Avenue.  The major north–south thoroughfares are Skokie Boulevard, [[Crawford Avenue]], and McCormick Boulevard; the major diagonal streets are [[Lincoln Avenue (Chicago)|Lincoln Avenue]], Niles Center Road, East Prairie Road and Gross Point Road.

Skokie's north–south streets continue the street names and (house number) grid values of Chicago's north–south streets&nbsp;– with the notable exceptions of [[Cicero Avenue]], which is renamed [[Skokie Highway|Skokie Boulevard]] within Skokie, and Chicago's Pulaski Road retains its original Chicago City name, Crawford Avenue. The east–west streets continue Evanston's street names, but with Chicago grid values, such that Evanston's Dempster Street is 8800 north in Skokie addresses.
