Welcome to Roselle
It's easy to spot summer approaching in Roselle, a suburb of about 22,000 west of Chicago. Aside from the obvious changes in weather, the village begins preparing for its annual Roselle Lions Club Annual Rose Fest and Rose Parade in early June — 2025's edition will be the 64th annual. “It’s just a very quaint, safe suburb,” says Christina Anderson-Heller, the marketing director of Lynfred Winery, itself a Roselle staple since the 1970s. “We have such a heart for everything local. It’s like what you’d expect in a happy little movie about a hometown.”
Complete with a walkable downtown hosting a handful of unique, characteristic shops and restaurants in early 20th-century storefronts, locals also enjoy parks and a highly rated school system.
A walkable downtown and charming storefronts are the characteristics of Roselle.
The quaint town of Roselle has something to offer for everyone.
The median home sale price is $340,000, about $80,000 below the national median. Throughout most of the village, Colonial Revivals, ranch-style homes and split-levels stand on tree-lined streets. Downtown, Craftsmans and bungalows sit close together. “You have a lot of these beautiful homes from the early 1900s to the 1930s downtown,” says Anderson-Heller. In the Medinah neighborhood, on the east side of the village, homes are higher priced, in the range of $350,000-$700,000, with estate homes fetching around $1 million. It's also home to the renowned Medinah Country Club, which has hosted a wide range of professional golf events.
The most prominent industries include manufacturing, retail trade, health care and social assistance.
Throughout most of Roselle craftsman stand on spacious tree-lined streets.

Sipping and savoring in downtown Roselle
American, Italian, Japanese and Chinese restaurants line Roselle's Main Street. The city features a handful of fast-food spots and chains, but most restaurants are locally owned. Adding to Roselle's charm is Lynfred Winery, Illinois' oldest and largest continuously operating bonded winery, with a legacy dating back to the 17th century. Lynfred offers tastings, flights and wine by the glass in a picturesque outdoor area in the heart of Roselle. Shops, boutiques and grocery stores are located along East Irving Park Road and U.S. Route 20.

Annual community events celebrating the rose
The community comes together for various events throughout the year, including The Roselle Lions Club Annual Rose Fest and Rose Parade, marking the onset of summer — an annual celebration inspired by the neighborhood's name. The summer season also brings a Concert in the Parks series featuring free live music. Roselle hosts the Annual Rose Ambassador Scholarship Event in February, awarding scholarships to local high school students. Independence Day fireworks illuminate the skies courtesy of Lake Park High School, and the Taste of Roselle block party livens Main Street with exceptional food and entertainment.

Public parks, nature preserves and Chicago White Sox appreciation
Roselle operates 16 neighborhood parks. According to Anderson-Heller, Turner Park is a popular spot. “It’s just darling. They have a nice little pond, and we do fishing tournaments and concerts over there as well.” Pine Park hosts youth baseball and softball games, featuring a scoreboard honoring the 2005 world champions, the Chicago White Sox. There’s also a skatepark equipped with ramps, banks and ledges. Meacham Grove, a 250-acre forest preserve, showcases woodland groves, meadows and wetlands. The North Central DuPage Regional Trail winds through a section of the preserve, stretching its entire 19-mile length across neighborhood streets and beyond.

The nearest hospital, Ascension Saint Joseph, is 16 miles east.

“If you blink while driving, you’ll miss Medinah. We are like a unicorn tucked between Bloomingdale, Roselle and Itasca,” says Jessica Garry, a Realtor at Garry Real Estate who grew up in Medinah and currently services DuPage County. “Since Medinah is an unincorporated community, we have low taxes, custom homes on oversized lots, and we get the luxury of relaxed living, except we are only 27 miles away from Chicago.” Medinah is often known for being home to the Medinah Country Club, which is a prestigious private club with famous members such as Michael Jordan, and has hosted some of the most acclaimed golfing events. The rest of the community is comprised of picturesque homes that dot the idyllic, storybook setting with a harmonious blend of undulating greens, top-performing schools and active, long-term residents who are passionate about preserving Medinah’s rural, small-town character. “People have shut down multimillion-dollar offers from the factories that wanted to buy up Medinah’s land,” Garry says. “We have neighbors who have chicken coops in their backyards, RVs, trailers and boats parked out front, and there are people who convert smaller ranch homes to larger two-stories. You can basically do anything with your land here because Medinah is unincorporated, and we want to keep Medinah the way it is, which is unique.”
“The houses here go super fast as inventory is really low. There are about 800 houses total in Medinah, so it’s pretty slim picking,” Garry says. Most single-family properties are priced between $350,000 and $700,000, with estate homes fetching around $1 million. Primarily built in the latter half of the 20th century, Medinah properties include split-levels, single-story ranches and raised ranch styles around 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. Larger picturesque Tudor Revivals, stately Colonial Revivals, New Traditionals and sprawling ranch styles are often over 4,000 square feet with horseshoe driveways and acre-sized lots. Brickwork exteriors are common, and landscapes are thoughtfully maintained with mature trees and shrubs. “There is only one more lot available to build on in all of Medinah. Home prices here continue to go up, and the fact that there’s no more land left makes Medinah even more valuable,” Garry adds. “Plus, people who live here do not leave.”
With three 18-hole courses and a 120,000-square-foot clubhouse, the iconic Medinah Country Club is designated by BoardRoom Magazine as one of the eight Distinguished Clubs in the world. Locals can head to Thorndale Park for recreational games of baseball, tennis and volleyball. The neighborhood parkland is also home to an ice-skating rink, playgrounds and hiking trails. Anglers may go to Lakeview Park’s fishing pier for a quiet escape.
Most area students attend Medinah Primary School for prekindergarten to second grade. Young learners then continue to Medinah Intermediate School and Medinah Middle School, both of which are rated A-minus by Niche. Additional primary schools include Spring Hills Elementary School, which has an A-minus, and Erickson Elementary School, rated A. Lake Park High School has an A-plus and offers 25 Advanced Placement and seven dual credit courses.
“There are two restaurants and bars, two mechanic shops, a post office and a train station in Medinah,” Garry says. “However, you can get to most neighboring restaurants within a 10-minute drive.” 4 Points Whiskey Saloon and Grill is Medinah’s area fixture with karaoke nights on Saturdays and a popular bar selection. Venture out of Medinah and explore the neighboring food scenes, including Portillo’s, a Chicago-based fast-food chain serving beef sandwiches. For a more upscale experience, visit Venuti’s Italian Restaurant, a family-owned eatery offering authentic dishes like French veal chops. Residents may drive 3 miles to Addison for groceries at Aldi or visit Sam’s Club and Walmart for everyday essentials. With over 200 stores and restaurants, Woodfield Mall, which is the largest mall in the state, is a mere 5-mile drive away.
While Medinah is highly car-dependent, there is a train station in Medinah that can take residents to Chicago Union Station through Metra, which is short for Chicago’s commuter train, Metropolitan Rail. “Medinah is less than 2 minutes away from highways in all directions,” Garry says. Locals can navigate to Chicago via Interstate 290, and O'Hare International Airport is 12 miles away through West Irving Park Road. Ascension Alexian Brothers hospital is about 4 miles away.
Most events such as seasonal festivals, wine tours and holiday galas in Medinah take place at the Medinah Country Club. The club has also hosted various tournaments and major golf events, including the BMW Championship, the Ryder Cup, the PGA Championship when Tiger Woods won in 1999 and 2006, the U.S. Senior Open and the U.S. Open, often attracting over 200,000 visitors.
