Residential living close to the highway

A half hour’s drive west from Chicago, Elk Grove Village West provides its residents with a suburban atmosphere, events spotlighting area history and holidays, local businesses and a bevy of parks for recreation. “There’s a lot of commerce and industrial buildings there,” says Sarah Leonard, broker and team leader of the Sarah Leonard Team and owner of Legacy Properties. “There’s a lot of jobs in that area, too, which is wonderful. It’s more affordable than and adjacent to Schaumburg, with an incredible location that’s closer to the city and downtown Chicago.”

Restaurants in and around Elk Grove Village West

Woodfield Mall, the largest in the state, is a few minutes away from the neighborhood. “There’s a lot of businesses and it’s adjacent to Woodfield, so it’s really close,” Leonard says. “It’s so close to that area, so there’s the convenience of a short drive without the price tag. There isn’t much dining, but there are some strip malls.” Few restaurants are located within the neighborhood, but those that are include MazMez Middle Eastern Grille near the center of Elk Grove Village West. Middle Eastern fare can be found within its doors, while bubble tea is minutes away at Bobar. Just down Meacham Road from both establishments are a Walmart and an Aldi for grocery needs.

Annual events throughout the calendar

Elk Grove Village West’s events are a prime point of interest for its residents. The Mid-Summer Classics Concert Series has recently featured such artists as the Beach Boys, Neon Trees and Martina McBride, and each fall the neighborhood celebrates its local pride by holding a Hometown Parade. Seasonal and holiday-themed gatherings include a tree lighting ahead of the Christmas season, a Fourth of July fireworks celebration and Oktoberfest late in the year. For Chicago Cubs fans, Wrigley Field is only about half an hour east on the north side of the city.

Venturing beyond Elk Grove Village West

“It’s only about three minutes to get access to the tollway to head downtown,” Leonard says. “People can access Biesterfield Road, Interstate 290 and it’s close to Route 53.” The convenience to major thoroughfares is a perk of living in Elk Grove Village West, as Interstate 290 flashes along the eastern edge of the neighborhood before making a sharp turn east as it rolls all the way to downtown Chicago.

Elk Grove Village West sits right along I-290 for easy access to the city.
