Why Live in Southwest Elgin

Southwest Elgin is a neighborhood known for its early 20th-century homes, including colorful Sears Kit Craftsmen, Colonial Revivals, American Foursquares, and ranch-style houses. These homes, often featuring detached garages and paved or gravel driveways, are set on uniformly square lawns with a mix of new and old trees providing shade. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for families. For things to do, residents can visit the Downtown Elgin farmer’s market on Riverside Drive from June to October or enjoy the scenic Fox River Trail. Festival Park offers shaded paths, a playground, and a splash pad, while the Elgin Sports Complex provides extensive sports facilities, including soccer, softball, and t-ball fields, a BMX track, and sand volleyball courts. Golf enthusiasts can head to The Highlands of Elgin Golf Course. Randall Street features big-box stores and chain restaurants, while the nearby Elgin Fresh Market and locally owned eateries in Downtown Elgin offer diverse dining options. Commuters primarily rely on cars, with Pace Suburban bus stops available and the Metra providing a 41-mile ride to downtown Chicago. Chicago O’Hare International Airport is 26 miles away. Students attend School District U-46, with Lowrie Elementary, Abbott Middle School, and Larkin High School, the latter offering specialized programs in the arts and dual credit options at Elgin Community College.
