Elk Grove Village
One of the largest business parks in the country, with neighborhoods planned apart from the trucks.

Overview
Elk Grove Village is famous for one of the largest business parks in North America, with residential neighborhoods planned apart from that industrial engine. O’Hare sits next door. The 2020 Census counted 32,812 people; the July 1, 2025 estimate is 31,885. Logistics shapes the economy; the residential streets were drawn to keep trucks on their side of the map.

Taxes
Cook County overlapping rates apply on most residential PINs. Some ZIP geography touches DuPage, so confirm the county on the tax bill and the Cook County Treasurer or DuPage Treasurer site.
Commute
Mean travel time is 25.5 minutes (ACS 2020–2024). There is no primary Metra passenger station inside the residential core. The village points residents to nearby Metra on MD-W / UP-NW and to the CTA Blue Line at Rosemont, with Pace Route 223 linking Elk Grove-area stops toward Rosemont. Highways: I-90, I-290, IL-390, I-355, IL-53 / 83.

Housing
ACS 2020–2024 median owner-occupied value is $347,100, owner occupancy 74.7 percent, median household income $94,175. Residential stock was largely planned with the village. Flight paths matter on some streets — walk the block at different times of day.
Why people move here
O’Hare-area jobs, a large employment base, and residential streets deliberately separated from the business park. Flight paths and truck traffic near industrial zones, no in-town Metra hub, bus or drive for rail. If your work is airport-adjacent, the location logic is hard to argue with.
