About Prospect Heights
Prospect Heights (~16,000 residents) is a northwest suburb with no real downtown — a spread-out community of ranch homes, townhomes and apartments centered on the Gary Morava Recreation Center and its park district. Camp McDonald Woods (forest preserve) gives it green space, and the village sits conveniently between Arlington Heights, Wheeling, and Mount Prospect for shopping and Metra access.
