GLENVIEW

Glenview is, quite simply, a view to charmed living. With lovely homes nestled on tree-lined streets, exceptional schools, and a wealth of thriving businesses, it is no wonder so many people choose to call this enchanting community home. In addition to its amiable residents, beautiful parks, popular recreational facilities, and convenient twenty-two mile commute to the Loop, Glenview is also the home of “the Grove”, a one hundred and twenty-three acre preserve of diverse prairie land established by visionary horticulturalist, Dr. John Kennicott, in 1836. The Grove is now not only a historical landmark, but also a wonderful source of educational and environmental enjoyment…and just one more reason why Glenview residents deem their community a perfect place to live.

Residential

Glenview homes vary as much in size and style as they do in price with prices for single family homes ranging from $185,000 to 2,250,000 and an average sales price of $700,645 as of July, 2006- a dramatic increase of over 100% from the year before, according to the Hedrick-Wagner Appraisal Group.

Commercial

In addition to the diversity of its homes, Glenview is also home to a great number of businesses that are headquartered there, including Kraft Foods, Zenith Electronics, and Scott, Foresman & Co. Additionally, Glenview’s commerce provides for any and all of life’s necessities, as well as a nice variety of terrific restaurants and shopping venues. Finally, “The Glen”, located at the site of the former Glenview Naval Air Station, is a 1,121 acre, multi-use site that features new homes, offices, and retail space. Public amenities include Lake Glenview, Park Center, Gallery Park, Air Station Prairie, two golf courses, and a Metra station.
