Greenbrier
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.
Greenbrier Elementary to Buffalo Grove
Greenbrier students attend elementary and middle school within Arlington Heights District No. 25. From kindergarten through fifth grade, students may attend Greenbrier Elementary School, which earns a Grade of A from Niche. Starting in sixth grade, students may attend Thomas Middle School, which Niche gives an A-minus grade. Students may later attend Buffalo Grove High School, within Township High School District No. 214, which earns a Grade of A-plus from Niche. 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.”

Northpoint Shopping Mall has all
A drive down the road brings residents to the neighborhood groceries, including Jewel Osco and Trader Joe’s. Around Northpoint Shopping Mall and across Rand Road, there are plenty of box stores to shop from, including Marshall’s and Petco. Greenbrier offers a variety of restaurants, from an elegant night out in the timeless ambiance to sports bars. At Palm Court Restaurant, residents enjoy rich cuisine such as escargots and veal. Greenbrier is also a popular spot for sushi, with Sun Shui Restaurant and 5th Ave Sushi just down the road from one another.

When commuting by rail, Arlington and Palatine Metra stations are both around 3 miles from Greenbrier. For flights out of Chicago, O’Hare International Airport is a 20-mile drive.Frontier Days to holiday parades
From summer months enjoying the outdoors at Greenbrier and Frontier parks to running errands up the road, Greenbrier residents live a life of convenience where all they need is less than 3 miles from home. “Arlington Heights Park District hosts events throughout the year, which include egg hunts, tea at the Museum, Picnic in the Park, movies in the park, golf outings, Heritage Fest, Holiday Tree Lighting and more,” Lewandowski says. “We also have Frontier Days, parades on Memorial Day and Fourth of July.”
