About Glencoe, Illinois

With the shores of Lake Michigan nearby, and Chicago just to its south, Glencoe gives residents unparalleled access to both natural beauty and cosmopolitan excitement. Glencoe itself is one of the North Shore's oldest and most desirable communities, and its neighborhoods contain landmark homes that range from ornate Victorian mansions to one of the largest arrays of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes in the entire Chicago area. Home buyers can choose from these historic residences or purchase custom-built mansions, comfortable single-family homes, or spacious townhouses and condominiums.

In addition to its extensive parks, sports fields, and recreation facilities, residents have access to a public beach on Lake Michigan and several nearby golf courses. Diners can pick out a romantic bistro, a casual eatery, or sample from the worlds' cuisines. Shoppers will appreciate Glencoe's unique shops and access to the area's major shopping malls and retail outlets.
