A village vibe
Flowerfield is in the Village of Lombard, just 20 miles west of downtown Chicago, but its open, rolling prairies and two-lane highways seem about as far as one can get from the Loop. Lombard is an unincorporated community with a surprisingly rich history for its small size. As one might expect, flowers are part of that history – lilacs, to be precise. But, as Alison Constanzo at the Lombard Historical Society says with a laugh, “We have no record of how Flowerfield got its name. We’ve looked through all the records. We just think the builders named it that because it sounds nice.”
Flowerfield has beautiful walkways surrounded by foliage in the summer.
Families will enjoy the green spaces and shade trees in Lilacia Park.

Good prices...
The median list price for a two-bedroom condominium is $175,000, but most residences in Flowerfield are single-family homes, with a smattering of Tudor-style apartment buildings constructed in the late 20th century. The median list price for a detached home is $230,000, and buyers will find a variety of homes in different styles, such as brick Cape Cods, colonial revivals and newer ranch-style and midcentury modern homes. “Most of the homes are within walking distance to Sunset Knoll Park,” says Kathy Volpe, a Realtor with RE/Max and longtime resident of Lombard. “And the schools are top-notch.”
A smaller Flowerfield home is well taken care of.
Hints of Colonial-revival can be found throughout Flowerfield.

A Tree City USA
Lombard has been named a Tree City USA for the last 30 years and recently received a grant to upgrade its urban forest. Sunset Knoll Recreation Center and Park is in the center of Flowerfield and features over 36 acres of cultivated green space. The recreation center hosts a Kiddie Campus Preschool. Surrey Park is a smaller neighborhood park to the south, with a hill popular for sledding during the region’s long winters. Dog owners can take their furry pals to Spring Avenue Dog Park, just west past Interstate 355, known as the Veterans Memorial Tollway. The dog park sits within a linked series of vast nature preserves managed by Glen Ellyn, the village west of Lombard, and DuPage County. The 520-acre East Branch Nature Preserve is just west of and easily accessible for residents of Flowerfield.

Lilac Time and Little Orphan Annie
On the village government website, new residents can find out about keeping backyard chickens and numerous village events throughout the year. Alison Costanzo explains this is the centennial of the birth of Harold Gray, the Lombard resident who created the musical Little Orphan Annie. She says it’s their “’Annie’-versary.” Lilac Time is hosted by the Lombard Historical Society, whose land has a large lilac field donated by a village founder. Another near-century-old Chicago institution, The Original Rainbow Cone Ice Cream Shop, opened a location in Lombard a few years ago. Other local eateries include Jerusalem Café, which serves traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, and Kizuna Sushi Bistro. Locals are within a mile of Aldi, Trader Joe’s and a regional chain Pete’s Fresh Market branch.
