suburbs glenview Glenview Community Contact: Glenview Chamber 847-724-0900, www.glenviewchamber.com Glenview provides much of the cachet of the North Shore proper while offering slightly more reasonable housing prices and more opportunities to settle into a brand-new home or even a new subdivision. The recent decommissioning of the huge Glenview Naval Air Station offered an unprecedented opportunity for building entirely new subdivisions less than an hour from the Loop. As with similar communities, the services, library, schools and park district are topnotch. Also consider Northfield and Northbrook. Located 20 miles north of the Loop.

Rapid population growth—from 5,500 residents in 1999 to 16,700 in 2005—has led to rapid growth in the schools, too. A new high school and several elementary schools have been added in the last five years and the park district has ramped up its programming and facilities accordingly. Expect affordable housing in new subdivisions. Also consider Hampshire and Gilberts. Located 50 miles northwest of the Loop.
