BUFFALO GROVE
Included among the 1992 list of “50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Kids” by a book of the same title, Buffalo Grove is a warm and welcoming community of tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes, and neighbors who take pride in their small-town spirit. It is also among the neighboring North Shore suburbs that have witnessed the most growth in recent years. Started as melting pot of a few New England pioneers and immigrant laborers, the village of Buffalo Grove has since grown in leaps and bounds, resulting in a thriving community that has maintained its country atmosphere and its easy access to the cultural, entertainment, and business centers of Chicago.
