Glencoe

Tucked along the shores of Lake Michigan just 20 miles north of downtown Chicago, Glencoe is one of the most exclusive and picturesque communities on the North Shore. With a population of around 8,500, Glencoe is known for its serene tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and deep-rooted sense of community. This quiet, residential village blends natural beauty with suburban sophistication, offering an exceptional quality of life.

Residents enjoy access to award-winning schools, a charming downtown, and beautiful parks and beaches. With meticulously maintained homes—many featuring historic and architectural significance—Glencoe offers both timeless elegance and modern convenience.

Glencoe’s walkable village center is home to independent boutiques, cafés, salons, and specialty food shops. The town also takes pride in its cultural institutions, including the Writers Theatre, one of the premier regional theaters in the Midwest.

Nature is central to life in Glencoe. The village borders the Chicago Botanic Garden, offers stunning ravines and beach access, and is surrounded by forest preserves and biking trails that make outdoor recreation a daily ritual.

Glencoe is served by District 35 and feeds into New Trier High School, one of the top-ranked high schools in Illinois. The Metra Union Pacific North Line makes commuting easy, with a direct ride into Chicago. Proximity to the Edens Expressway (I-94) adds further accessibility for drivers.
