Quiet suburban village with top-rated schools and ample green space
The village of Glendale Heights, about 30 miles west of downtown Chicago, blends two of the area’s geographic neighbors, Glen Ellyn to the south and Bloomingdale to the north. The community has plenty of shopping centers and commercial businesses, along with easily accessible highways. "It’s a great location to pretty much anywhere with the interstates all around,” says Tracy Tran, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty who has 16 years of experience in Glendale Heights. “We have a good number of commuters that drive into the city on 290.
Homes sell faster than the national norm
Common home designs include ranch-style, split-level and townhomes, which sell within an average of two weeks, faster than the national average.

"Glendale Heights is great for first-time home buyers because of the affordable homes," says Josie Morrison, Broker Associate with RE/MAX Action.
