Glenview

Glenview is a village in northeastern Illinois that mixes residential neighborhoods with business areas and public green spaces. The community blends suburban and natural environments throughout its neighborhoods.

The Glenview Park District was established in 1927 through a community vote to develop recreational facilities. This foundation shaped the village's long-term focus on public spaces and resident services.

The Development Center integrates community services, building permits, and project improvements while maintaining connections between residents and local government administration.

The Village Hall on East Lake Avenue handles garbage collection, water service, and senior programs for residents. Visitors should check ahead to confirm which services are available when you plan to visit.

The park services facility uses geothermal heating, wind turbines, and rainwater collection systems. These environmental approaches are uncommon features in community facilities of this size.
