Allen’s Corner Diner is a throwback to roadside restaurants
There’s a small diner just off Route 20 open for breakfast and lunch. Allen’s Corner Diner has only seven tables and ten stools at the counter, and it has been a part of the community since 1921. Leave the credit and debit cards at home - Allen’s only accepts cash. Other choices for meals out will be in the village of Hampshire. There’s a walk-up counter with no indoor seating at Chick-N-Dip, which specializes in fried chicken. Block’s Fresh Market is a locally owned grocer with a deli and butcher. It’s about 7 miles to the village of Huntley, where there’s a Walmart Supercenter.

Industrial area near Interstate 90
On the neighborhood’s northern edge is the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, or Interstate 90, that leads to Rockford to the west, and the western Chicago suburbs and O’Hare International Airport, about 45 minutes to the east. An industrial park at the interchange has a protective film manufacturer for use on aluminum and metal and a metal supplier. The nearest Metra station is the Big Timber Road station on the west side of Elgin, about 11 miles away.
A dog park run by Love’s Travel Center off I-90
At the neighborhood’s north end, near the intersection with Interstate 90, a dog park connected to the Love’s Travel Center has a place for pooches to have off-leash fun behind the truck stop, with separate areas for large and small breeds. The Hampshire Forest Preserve has nearly 300 acres with 12 miles of trails for bird watching and observing nature. There’s a space for those who want to fly model aircraft and drones.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
