Arlington Heights neighborhood nestled in convenience

Greenbrier neighborhood residents enjoy many Arlington Heights amenities in and around the neighborhood from one of two main roads, Illinois Route 53 and U.S. Route 12. “Arlington Heights is known for its impressive service offerings from the park district, library, school district and Village but also for its vibrant downtown and recreational programming,” says Amy Lewandowski, Director of Marketing and Community Engagement for Arlington Heights Park District. “The District is a steward of five community centers with outdoor pools, two tennis clubs, Lake Arlington, Arlington Ridge Center, two public golf clubs and a driving range.”

Greenbrier subdivisions featuring shaded streets

Midsize Colonial Revival houses line the neighborhood’s streets, complete with well-maintained sidewalks to keep residents connected throughout the community. Trees accompany these sidewalks, shading joggers and bikers from bright rays. In addition to Colonial Revivals, some subdivisions include split-level and ranch-style houses with L-shaped footprints. Across the neighborhood, houses list between $222,000 and $845,000, with the median price of a single-family home at $445,000. While some houses date back to the 1930s, most houses were built between the 1960s and 1990s. There are areas zoned for new subdivisions, including a new development off North Ridge Avenue. Residents have plenty of space in their backyards to construct playsets if they are not within walking distance of one of the three parks in the neighborhood.

This high school offers 23 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, challenging students in the classroom. Outside of class, students can participate in the 26 athletic program offerings and choose from 42 extracurriculars.

Year-round fun at Frontier Park

There is much to explore across the area, with over 714 acres of land containing more than 50 parks and over 40 playgrounds, Lewandowski says. Frontier Park in Greenbrier is one of Arlington Heights' most popular green spaces, containing the community center, pools, athletic fields and a community garden. Greenbrier Park sits in the center of the neighborhood, beside Greenbrier Elementary School, and is where kids play away the stress of school on the playground and locals of all ages practice their serves on the tennis and pickleball courts. “During the colder months, we maintain eight outdoor ice rinks and four sled hills,” Lewandowski says. “Lake Arlington is also a very popular spot throughout any season for residents to walk around.”
