About Downers Grove, Illinois

Downers Grove is located only 19 miles west of Chicago, providing residents with easy access to the city's attractions while maintaining a unique, village atmosphere of its own. Prospective home buyers can choose from Victorian houses, more contemporary single family residences, as well as condominiums and townhouses.

In addition to an extensive parks district, Downers Grove residents have access to some of the few remaining stretches of natural prairie in Illinois, offering possibilities for both education as well as recreation while enjoying the outdoors. Downers Grove also features a 9-hole golf course; the Downers Grove Ice Arena; and the Morton Arboretum, which offers 1,500 acres of woodland for hiking, bicycling, or simple relaxation.

Downers Grove provides residents with many cultural and entertainment options. Music lovers can choose between several local venues for intimate performances. The Tivoli Theater screens movies and also hosts live performances, while the nearby Drury Lane Theater offers a dinner theater experience that features world-class performers. Families may enjoy miniature golf in McCollum Park.
