Glenview Real Estate
50-60 here, diverse, suburbs, families, retirees.
Approximately 15 miles north of the Chicago Loop, Glenview is a diverse suburb where folks from all walks of life find themselves feeling perfectly at home. The Glen Town Center is the community's expansive shopping plaza, home to high-end boutiques, nationally recognized brands, and upscale dining, while nature preserves and community parks provide several opportunities for outdoor recreation.
While this community has evolved to a diverse, modern suburb, Glenview is home to one of the Chicago area's last working farms, the most meticulously landscaped parks and gardens, is conveniently situated on the Metra line, and is only a 12-mile drive from O'Hare International Airport.
What to Love
Local Lifestyle
Highly regarded as one of Illinois’ best places to call home, Glenview is also one of the area’s most diverse communities. Home to over three dozen schools, most campuses are ranked a 10 out of 10 on Great Schools, a feat accomplished by a few others. Glenview locals also benefit from close proximity to delicious restaurants, top-notch coffee shops, and a vibrant nightlife scene, something not always found in a suburban environment. More quiet recreation is enjoyed at The Glen Club, one of the area’s more upscale hospitality and golfing facilities. In addition to golf, The Glen Club puts on several events throughout the year and serves traditional American favorites at their on-site grill.
Dining, Entertainment, and Shopping
The Glen Town Center is the community’s premier destination for upscale outdoor shopping and dining, offering anything one could ever need. Unique boutiques, locally run businesses, and a plethora of dining options ranging from ice cream to brunch, and Mexican to Sushi can all be found within a stone's throw of one another. The Glen Town Center is also home to a luxury movie theater, spas, salons, and boutique fitness studios.
The Grove is Glenview’s most unique outdoor experience. Part preserve and part museum, guests are welcome to wander the former home of famed horticulturalist Dr. John Kennicott.

The Kohl Children's Museum provides immersive experiences for children, toddlers, and infants. Some previous displays have included sensory exhibits, hands-on scientific adventures, and several permanent displays exploring art, music, animals, and a mini Whole Foods Market.
The historic Wagner Farm is one of the last working farms in the Chicago area. Live exhibits demonstrate life on the farm, while Locals can shop the on-site farmers’ market Saturdays from June through October. This storied venue boasts over a century of history, serves nearly 150,000 visitors each year and is also home to a popular pumpkin patch every fall.
