Yes, there are elk in Elk Grove Village
Elk Grove Village is immediately west of O’Hare International Airport, in the heart of the northwest Chicago suburbs. “Elk Grove Village is not on people’s radar, but it should be,” says Beth Kaim, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Within the community of nearly 33,000 people, there’s the largest industrial park in the United States and a 3,500-acre forest preserve where a small herd of elk is kept in a grove at the park’s eastern edge. The animals were native to the area until land developed in the early 1800s. “They are well cared for,” Kaim says.

Elk Grove Business Park
On the village’s eastern edge is a designated area for large manufacturers and data centers comprising 5,600 businesses and almost six square miles. Thousands are employed at the park that used to be farmland west of O’Hare Airport. Before it was developed as a business park, it was considered the new home for the Chicago Bears football team. Human resources software company ADP and Ecolab, a water treatment and purification company, have offices in the business park and are some of the top employers in Elk Grove Village. “The presence of the industrial park here means that Elk Grove Village has the lowest tax rate in Cook County,” Kaim says.

Busse Woods Forest Preserve
In addition to the elk habitat in Busse Woods Forest Preserve, also known as the Ned Brown Preserve, there are 13 miles of trails, including a large loop that goes around Busse Reservoir. The trails are suitable for biking and cross-country skiing. The reservoir is available for ice fishing in the winter and boating in warm weather. Birdwatchers can spot egrets and herons in the trees and around the reservoir. The Elk Grove Village Park District manages various parks within the village, with one of the largest being the Jack A. Claes Pavilion Community Center, known by locals as The Pavilion, with an aquatics center and an indoor carousel. Surrounding the community center is Pirates’ Cove, a water park aimed at children up to age 10. Rainbow Falls Water Park is a mile to the east for kids and adults.

Proximity to O’Hare Airport
The median price for a house in Elk Grove Village is $405,000, less than Schaumburg, the neighboring suburb to the west, at $450,000. Mid-20th-century ranch-style, split-level and Colonial Revival houses are on typical small suburban lots, with some backing up to the Busse Woods Forest Preserve on the village’s north end. The big boom in population happened between the 1960s and ‘80s, and that’s when most of the houses were built. With the proximity of O’Hare International Airport, occasional aircraft noise may be something to consider. “I don’t see it as much of a problem unless you spend a lot of time outside,” Kaim says. “It’s certainly not a reason to skip Elk Grove Village.” There are also several condo and townhouse developments.
According to the FBI Crime Data Explorer, in 2023, violent and property crime rates were generally below national and state averages in Elk Grove Village. In part of that year, incidents of burglary and some violent crimes were above both averages.
Median price for a house in Elk Grove Village is $405K, less than nearby Schaumburg, at $450K.
