Long Grove

Chicago | Northwest Suburbs

Overview

Named after the grove of oak and hickory trees that once lined the community, Long Grove is 29 miles northwest of the Loop. Recognized as the first Historic District in Illinois in 1960, Long Grove has maintained the prairie-land appeal that fames the Midwestern region. Complete with covered bridges leading to one-room schoolhouses and preserved farmhouses once occupied by the area’s craftsman and blacksmiths, Long Grove is like flipping through the pages of a history book. Homeowners cherish the open spaces the zoning ensures for its residents.
