A Northern Chicago neighborhood full of adventure
Looking at the Busse Woods neighborhood on a map, there’s a lot of green space. That's because the Ned Brown Forest Preserve, also known as Busse Woods, is roughly three-quarters of the neighborhood. Everything south of State Route 58 is open space for outdoor recreation. Above the wilderness, the neighborhood is also a bustling area filled with shopping centers, business parks, restaurants and residential properties. The Endeavor Health Northwest Community Hospital provides healthcare to the area, while the Arlington Lakes Golf Club adds more adventure. Residents of Busse Woods can live a comfortable city lifestyle while still having unlimited access to outdoor amenities.

Premier preserve filled with outdoor recreation
One of the biggest draws of Busse Woods is the natural preserve that carries the same name. The 3,558-acre Ned Brown Forest Preserve has a seemingly endless forest with ponds, lakes and a protected elk pasture for the wildlife to roam. Visitors can explore the preserve along 13 miles of paved trails that wind throughout the territory. Go hiking or biking through the natural scenery, or dive into the water recreation and go boating, fishing or kayaking. The Busse Lake Boating Center offers rentals for water transports, such as canoes and motorized boats, for those who don’t have their own. In the wintertime, visitors can even go cross-country skiing, ice skating and snowmobiling throughout the area. Large meadows and groves are perfect for picnicking with friends and family. In addition to the Busse Woods preserve, residents of the neighborhood can play a round of golf at the Arlington Lakes Golf Club. All ages and levels of skill are open to the 18-hole course. “We have good ties with the community, so we really try to provide excellent services for the residents nearby,” says Bryan Cox, general manager of Arlington Lakes Golf Club. “One of the interesting things that we offer are three-hole and six-hole rates, so if people want to come out during lunchtime or do not want to come out for long, we have options.” The club also offers leagues, lessons and tournaments throughout the year.

Shopping and dining between the highways
For a neighborhood that has more greenspace than developed land, Busse Woods still hits the mark with providing everyday necessities for its residents.

At the junction between Golf Road and West Algonquin Road, there is a large commercial space with shopping centers that have retailers like Walmart and Meijer. The area also has several fast-food and restaurant chains to choose from, like Raising Cane’s and Panera Bread. Those who want to go local can eat at the family-owned Taqueria Los Laureles with its authentic Mexican cuisine. There’s also Chef Ping, serving modern Chinese and Asian dishes. Between West Algonquin Road and Interstate 90, there are several business parks with commercial businesses, hotels and private medical practices. For more options, residents can head less than a mile east of the Busse Woods preserve to Woodfield Mall, where there are name-brand stores, department stores, restaurants and numerous entertainment options.
