Looks about 1.5 to 2 miles from the Itasca Metra station to his workplace. The route doesn't appear particularly bike or pedestrian friendly either. However, you're in luck. There is a suburban bus - Pace bus 616 (

The bus schedule is coordinated to meet up with the Metra train. The vast majority of suburban Chicago does not have this option.
You're best bet is to live near a station on the same like as the Itasca station. This is the Metra Milwaukee District West line (

My guess is 40 minute drive from Oak Park, 1 hour + from any trendy city neighborhood.
