Community

Twenty-five miles north of Chicago's Loop and four miles west of Lake Michigan, the Village of Northbrook is bordered on three sides by acres of forest preserve and lagoons. Easy access by train and car provides commuter convenience and strategic connections for area business and industry.

This Chicago North Shore suburb has benefited through years of diligent planning and untiring efforts of elected officials, village employees, and outstanding volunteers. Educational, recreational, leisure, and employment opportunities are abundant.

Learn more about Northbrook's local resources, community organizations, government, schools, demographics, and information for voters and new residents.

The Northbrook Community Calendar is open for submissions by Northbrook organizations and not-for-profits. Events and inquiries on how your organization can directly enter events can be sent to info@northbrook.info.
