LONG GROVE
Toted as “a little town that time forgot”, the village of
Long Grove is a charming community that has maintained its bucolic beginnings
and prevented the penetration of suburban sprawl experienced by so many
of its neighbors. Though large in land size, Long Grove’s population
is relatively small, resulting in acres of open space and unadulterated
land.
Residential
The commitment to preserving open spaces includes the private residences
of Long Grove, with a land requirement of one acre or more (and most are
much more). Such expansive properties result in yet additional sources
of pride for Long Grove residents: privacy and tranquility.
Commercial
Though strict referendums have been passed to limit the development of
convenient stores, chains, and neon signs, the village’s primary
commerce attracts hundreds of visitors daily: the antique trade. Numerous
shops tucked away throughout Long Grove reflect the community’s
clandestine character and commitment to preserving their cherished history.
