Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Superb parks, a booming job market, quality homes surrounded by greenery, excellent schools, and low taxes define life in this pleasant suburb 27 miles (43 kilometers) northwest of Chicago. Life doesn't get much better!

Although it has a population of 33,000, Elk Grove can still call itself a village. It's a close-knit, supportive community, with quiet, tree-lined streets and neighborhoods that are perfect for raising a family. Life is so good here that the village's growth rate has skyrocketed in recent years. Newcomers are greeted by a spectacular natural area, the Cook County Forest Preserve, where they'll find some of the best fishing, sailing, boating, and hiking in the Chicago metropolitan area. The area also features 44 parks, three Olympic-sized pools, 11 public tennis courts, and a large public fitness center called the Pavilion. Kids will love the town's two theme parks, Pirate's Cove and Rainbow Falls Water Theme Park, as well as the local skate park.

Newcomers also appreciate the village's low property taxes, which are among the lowest in the Chicago area. The rich tax base afforded by the community's massive manufacturing sector allows the village to provide excellent services while minimizing the tax burden. In fact, the local industrial complex is home to nearly 4,000 firms employing almost 100,000 people. Each year, about 100 new companies relocate here.

Besides good jobs and quality services, newcomers will find an excellent choice of housing. Executive-style homes, quaint bungalows, and well-maintained apartments nestled among green areas and lakes are available at affordable prices.

All these amenities, combined with good schools producing above-average test results, make Elk Grove Village a great place to relocate.
