The Village
A suburb that knows exactly what it is.
Buffalo Grove isn’t a suburb that pretends to be a city. It’s a meticulously planned village of tree-lined subdivisions, 30-plus parks and a bike-path network that ties the whole community together — anchored by some of the most respected public schools in the country.
From the Milwaukee Avenue corridor and the emerging Town Center to the estate homes lining the Arboretum Club, Buffalo Grove offers a rare blend of stability, green space and easy access to everything Chicago’s north corridor has to offer.
