Forest Glen

Welcome to Forest Glen

Refined, Peaceful, and Convenient

Around the block

One of the oldest neighborhoods on the Northwest side, serene Forest Glen beautifully balances access to nature and the city, with parks and the river defining the south and east sides. Single-family home styles dominate the real estate market and range from classic single-story Chicago bungalows, charming cottages, and mid-century ranches to historic and well-maintained Tudor Georgian homes. There are also some row homes and multi-unit options. Local, family-owned eateries dominate the dining scene and range from formal to casual. Some have live performances for entertainment, and many offer kid-friendly menus due to many families in the community. Cafes and bars offer late-night bites or a refined place to grab a drink. A unique feature of Forest Glen is that many side streets are dead ends and drop residents high into forest preserves. Bunker Hill forest preserve
features spots for picnicking in prairie & groves along with hiking and biking paths. Unpaved trails lead through the leafy Sidney Yates Flatwoods, Peaceful, leafy nature preserve along a river, with unpaved walking trails & local wildlife. The Chicago Park District operates the scenic 18-hole Edgebrook Golf Course. Working residents can easily commute from two stops on the Metra or hop the Blue Line to the city or O'Hare. The Edens is also convenient for drivers.
