A picturesque suburban community in Western Springs

About 20 miles west of Chicago, Springdale sits in Western Springs and paints an idyllic picture of suburban living. “This is a highly valued area and there are a lot of old trees creating a shady canopy over the streets,” says Bryan Bomba, Realtor at Bryan Bomba Group servicing the greater Hinsdale area. “People from the city regularly seek it out because it’s a walkable lifestyle that's not too much of a departure from the city. People can walk to a coffee shop or the train, and there are sidewalks to push a stroller around.” Residential homes sit on quiet, storybook-setting streets, neighbors are often seen out playing with their children or walking their dogs and top-rated schools, restaurants, city parks and country clubs surround the locale with convenient accessibility.
