Gilberts Homes for Rent

Gilberts offers a blend of rural tranquility and suburban living, situated just west of the busier eastern suburbs. The neighborhood is characterized by open spaces and forest preserves, with significant development of single-family homes. Gilberts Town Center features three-bedroom duplexes and townhouses, while older homes include split levels and ranches from the 1980s. Newer homes, built from the 2000s onward, are typically two-story traditional styles. The Conservancy, a new subdivision, is adding about 700 homes to the area. Schools in Gilberts are highly rated, with Gilberts Elementary School, Dundee Middle School, and Hampshire High School all receiving commendable ratings. The village features several parks, including Town Center Park with a splash pad and Memorial Park with a stocked pond and picnic shelters. Annual events like the Gilberts Community Days and the Fall Bonfire foster a close-knit community atmosphere. Dining options include Pub 72 and Cruisin’, both popular local spots. Retail needs are met by nearby Huntley Grove shopping center. Gilberts is 35 to 45 miles from Chicago, with Interstate 90 providing direct access. While there is no current public transit, a proposed Metra rail line is expected by 2027. The area is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for families.
