The Town Of Glencoe
|
|---|
 Glencoe started out as an experiment: it was to be the “perfect suburb.” Located 22 miles north of the Loop, Alexander Hammond, a retired physician and farmer, led the quest to create a village with parks, homes and streets following the natural and beautiful topography of the land.
It is hard to argue that the experiment wasn’t at least partly successful. The principles that shaped Glencoe are still evident today. Strict zoning helps to maintain the spaciousness of the community, which reminds one more of a forest preserve than a suburb of a major metropolitan area. The central business district is dotted with small boutiques, cafes and a variety of professional services, much like the suburbs to its north. It is shielded from many of urban life’s “less savory” aspects (expressways, for example) by forest preserves, the Chicago Botanic Gardens, and dense growths of trees.
Glencoe is part of the Lake Michigan shoreline, and maintains a lovely beach, boating slips at the Wilmette Harbor, and two nature sanctuaries. Though a surprisingly natural, pretty area for its proximity to Chicago, it doesn’t come without a price. The affluence of Glencoe unfortunately stifles diversity in the local population. |
