Glen Ellyn just made Travel + Leisure’s list of the 9 Best Places to Live for Families 🏡
As two people who raised our own families here, we can tell you first-hand what makes this community so special.
📍 A balance of quiet suburban life with easy access to the city
🍎 Excellent schools — Glenbard West was even highlighted in the article
☕ A downtown filled with local restaurants and coffee shops
🌳 Parks, youth sports, and activities for kids of all ages
🚆 Quick train rides into Chicago when you need them
For us, it’s not just about what Glen Ellyn has on paper. It’s about everyday moments like school drop-offs, afternoons at Lake Ellyn, cheering on kids at local games, or running into neighbors downtown. That’s the real heart of this community.
If you’re thinking about making a move, Glen Ellyn truly offers the best of both worlds: a welcoming small-town feel with everything the city has to offer close by.
