About Elk Grove Village
A village of about 32,812 (2020 census) in Cook County with a small DuPage County portion, 22 miles northwest of Chicago along the Golden Corridor, Elk Grove Village is a 1956 planned community that became an economic engine of the northwest suburbs: it sits directly adjacent to O'Hare and hosts one of the Chicago area's largest industrial parks on its eastern border, served by I-90, I-290/I-355/Route 53, and IL-390. Residentially it's classic postwar suburbia — ranches, split-levels, and mid-century subdivisions — with no traditional downtown but strong parks and schools.
