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. Pricing below the national average helps drive rapid sales. The median single-family price is around $300,000, at least $100,000 lower than the national median. "Glendale Heights is great for first-time home buyers because of the affordable homes," says Josie Morrison, Broker Associate with RE/MAX Action.

The village prohibits parking along designated snow routes for 24 hours after a snowfall of 1 inch or more, no parking on any village street for 24 hours after 2 inches of snowfall, and no parking on any village street for 72 hours after 5 or more inches of snowfall.
