Suburban convenience with surrounding natural landscapes
West Schaumburg knows the meaning of a good harvest. While this community was once an agricultural breadbasket, today it’s considered a bucket list location. Money magazine once called West Schaumburg the best place to live in Illinois – and a top ten place to live in America. This place is for locals who value access to excellent schools as well as retail and dining destinations but want a suburban experience centered around natural landscapes. West Schaumburg is a popular and growing neighborhood.
West Schaumburg started as farmland only 33 miles from downtown Chicago.

Tudors and split levels along curved roads
One of the distinguishing features of West Schaumburg is how the streets curve around parks and ponds, providing a different experience from the typical grid layout. Prices for homes are generally between $190,000 and $532,000 that were built around the 1970s and 1980s. The lower end of the scale is for one and two-bedroom condos and townhouses, and more expensive homes in the neighborhood are often three- and four-bedroom Tudor style, ranch style, and split-level homes in various earthy colors. Across the entire neighborhood there is a classic suburban experience, with attached garages, quarter-acre lots, and streets with sidewalks.
Gray Farm Park is the centerpiece, offering 47 acres to bike, fish, picnic.

Over 15 local parks to choose from
Many locals head to the Gray Farm Park and Conservation Area for a relaxing day of natural immersion. While many parks and ponds are scattered throughout West Schaumburg, this is the centerpiece. “This is a 47-acre multi-use park that includes a playground, picnic areas, bike trail and fishing lake, in addition to a large open water marsh” says Becky Wyskochil, a communications specialist for over 6 years with the Village of Schaumburg. On the neighborhood's northern end, there is also Golf and Knollwood Park, which offers a large open space with athletic fields and a playset.
Gray Farm Park offers walking and bike paths throughout the park.

Tropical-themed water fun
The village hosts two large annual events. The Prairie Arts Festival on Memorial Day weekend offers over 100 different artist demonstrations and vendor booths. There is also Septemberfest, which includes a parade, craft show and plenty of food and drink for locals to enjoy. The Schaumburg Farmers Market operates from June to October and provides fresh produce every Friday. In the summer months, residents of West Schaumburg delight in heading to the neighborhood’s southern end to get to Atcher Island Outdoor Pool, a tropical-themed water park with many colorful water slides and a children's playground.
Barrington Road and I-90
Barrington Road holds a vital role beyond shopping, as it is also used for accessing Interstate 90, which makes downtown Chicago easily reachable. However, cars are only one method of transportation, as the multitude of parks and sidewalks mean that many locals choose to walk or bike through the streets. O'Hare International Airport is 22 miles from the neighborhood for global and local trips unreachable by car. For medical care, many locals head to St. Alexian Hospital, which is 3 miles north and specializes in critical care, cancer care and stroke care.
Along Barrington Road, residents can also catch a Pace Stop.
Barrington Road is major thoroughfare for the neighborhood and offers access to I-90 for trips.

Scharrington Square and the Prairie Towne Center
“Schaumburg has more than 250 restaurants, and many local favorites are near Gray Farm,” Wyskochil says. One such favorite is the casual but delicious restaurant Dan Thai, which serves up garlic pepper stir-fried chicken. The intersecting Barrington Road can be conveniently accessed by car or bus for numerous retail options, including the Prairie Town Center, a shopping mall with big names like Kohl’s and Sephora. Residents also head this way for running daily errands at the nearby Jewel-Osco and Target.
For a bubble tea, head out to WooW Tea located at Scharrington Square.
Residents of West Schaumburg agree that ice-cream is a great choice for everyday desert.
