Glen Ellyn

First settled in 1833, this picturesque village, with hilly tree-lined streets, has grown to become a popular western suburban Chicago community.  The village is primarily residential, with light business and retail, and virtually no industry.  It is a highly desired area for relocation.

There is a charming downtown area, with many specialty shops and fine restaurants.   In addition to the Glen Ellyn Public Library, the College of DuPage Library is available.  There is a live theater at the College of Fine Arts Center and a Sports and Recreation Center, along with courses for all ages.

Elementary school districts 89 and 41 serve the area.  In  District 41 are: Hadley Junior High; Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Churchill, and Forest Glen.   District 89 includes: Glen Crest Middle School, Arbor View, Briar Glen, Park View, and Westfield.  The High Schools are in District 87 (Glenbard West and South).
