Fall is upon us and now is a great time to get out and enjoy the season. Perhaps you are looking to relocate in a great place to raise your kids. Glenview certainly fits the bill. Not only does Glenview have a great school system, the family and hometown atmosphere is one that is hard to beat so close to the hustle and bustle of Chicago. One great way to see how friendly and accommodating this village is is to meet some of your potential neighbors.
Whether you are house hunting or just want to get out and enjoy the beauty of the changing leaves and crisp fall days, come to Glenview and enjoy these great family activities from the Glenview Park District. The Glenview Park District was selected as a finalist for the National Recreation and Park Association's 2009 Gold Medal for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management, and it will be easy to see why once you visit, you may never want to leave.

If you aren't familiar with the Glenview Park District's 18.6 acre Wagner Farm, it is one of the last working dairy farms in Cook County. It is open to the public for recreation and learning. The farm provides a unique opportunity for families to learn about our farming heritage and experience first hand "the way things used to be."
As you are driving through Glenview's tree-lined streets, kids waiting excitedly in the backseat to get to the festivities, you may want to give The Marla Schneider Team a call and view an open house or two. You will be so impressed with the village's charm, you may just decide to raise your family here.
