Village on the Lake

Elk Grove Village sits just northwest of Chicago along the so-called Golden Corridor, where proximity to O'Hare International Airport has shaped the community into one of the Chicago metro area's most strategically positioned suburbs. Incorporated in 1956, the village spans about 12 square miles in Cook and DuPage counties and is home to roughly 31,000 residents. Its eastern border holds one of the largest industrial and business parks in the country, with more than 3,600 companies operating within the village, making it a serious employment hub for the broader region. Interstate 90 and IL-390 connect commuters quickly to downtown Chicago and surrounding suburbs, while O'Hare itself is essentially a neighbor. The Village Green serves as a community gathering point, and seasonal events like the Mid-Summer Classics draw residents together for outdoor music and local celebration.
