A finely crafted North Shore lifestyle in the heart of Glenview
Situated on the southern side of the prestigious North Shore, The Glen offers a prime spot for homeowners to enjoy elevated suburban living. What was once a naval air base for much of the 20th century has evolved into a sought-after planned community at the heart of the village. “A lot of people go for the schools and end up staying there,” says Donna Mundzic, a real estate broker with Keller Williams Realty Partners. Mundzic was a Glenview resident for more than 10 years and has sold homes in Chicagoland for more than two decades. In addition to the local education, Mundzic cites the retail, dining and recreational areas as some of the area’s key draws for discerning home buyers. “It’s a very well-kept area with a hometown feel,” she says.

Townhomes, executive dwellings and colonial revival houses
Much of The Glen’s housing is the result of residential development in the area from 1995 onward, when the Naval Air Station Glenview closed and was replaced by multiple development projects. A few residents live in traditionally styled homes and condos from the 1960s and ‘70s, but most residents own townhomes in subdivisions built in the new millennium. Older units range from about $200,000 to $300,000, while newer townhomes and condos start at about $400,000 and go up to about $800,000, with some freestanding townhomes mixed in at the higher end of that range. Single-family homes in a mix of craftsman, new traditional and colonial revival styles start at about $875,000 and go up to $1.5 million or more.

Get there on the Metra train
Residents in The Glen are connected to greater Chicago’s Metra rail system through the Glen of North Glenview station near Lehigh Avenue. Commuters can catch the Milwaukee District North Line to travel from the neighborhood to Union Station. “A lot of people take the Metra to commute to and from the city. In the early mornings and when it isn’t too busy you can get to and from Chicago in about 30 minutes, but you’re looking at closer to an hour when it’s more crowded,” Mundzic says. For local travel, residents living close to the Glen may be able to bike or walk to points of interest, but most will likely need a car for reliable transportation. Residents can take larger trips via Waukegan Road/IL-43 and the Interstate 94 highway to the east or Interstate 294 to the west. Locals can expect a 22-mile drive into Chicago using I-94. For medical emergencies, Endeavor Health Glenbrook Hospital is 2 miles west. Domestic and international flights depart from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, 13 miles southwest of The Glen.
