The community of Galewood is southeast of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Its residents are comforted by their direct access to public transit, thanks to the Mars and Galewood Stations along the Milwaukee District/West Line.
Galewood is home to the Mars, Inc. manufacturing facility of its world-famous candies. This beautifully-landscaped neighborhood with wide streets is very residential – but it does include local grocery stores, businesses, as well as restaurants.
Amundsen Park offers residents a plethora of recreational opportunities, from football and soccer to basketball as well as a fitness center. The Wonder Works Children’s Museum is located here, just minutes from golf at the Oak Park Country Club.
