Hanover Park Village Profile
Hanover Park's roots
as a
settlement reach back into the 19th century, but our growth into a
community of
nearly 12,000 families really started
in the 1950's. 30
miles northwest of Chicago.
Scores
of new homes
rose on former farm sites and prairie 30 miles northwest of Chicago.
Today, Hanover Park
boasts
the youngest residents of any Chicago
northwest suburb, with a median resident age of 29.7. The
spirit and
energy of youth is visible throughout the community. Hanover
Park is a family community with plenty of neighborhood sports teams
and activities available for young families. Hanover Park
neighborhoods are filled with children.

conveniently
located 17 miles from
O’Hare International Airport and is 45 minutes

neighboring communities. Entertainment opportunities in the
