Welcome to Glenview
A dynamic community with excellent schools, 34 parks and playgrounds covering more than 290 acres, numerous options for shopping and dining, and proximity to local expressways and commuter trains have made it one of Chicago's premier suburbs -- a vibrant, thriving community that manages growth with success and style.
Glenview is bounded on each side by the Forest Preserves of Cook County. On the west are roughly 28-miles of the unpaved Des Plaines Trail System​ through Camp Pine, Lake Avenue-East, and Allison Woods. On the east are the Blue Star Memorial and Watersmeet Woods and the approximately 20-mile paved and unpaved North Branch Trail System along the North Branch of the Chicago River.
