Glencoe

Glencoe is an idyllic community brimming with natural beauty. Flanked by forest preserves and the shimmering Lake Michigan coastline, this small town balances small-town serenity with cosmopolitan connections.


Founded in 1869, Glencoe's long history endures through historic districts and notable landmarks. The Chicago Botanic Garden delights green thumbs, while the iconic Writers Theatre entertains culture enthusiasts with dramatic flair. When not enjoying festivals or concerts, residents relax across two golf courses, a private country club, tennis facility and the prestigious Glencoe Beach.


While just 16 miles from the Windy City's Magnificent Mile, Glencoe offers a peaceful escape into sprawling greenery, top-tier schools, and architectural marvels behind stone gates and iron fencing. Friendly neighbors, active civic engagement and strong businesses enrich day-to-day living. This special village masterfully mixes thriving recreation with the refinement of simple Midwestern pleasures.
