Northbrook’s charming downtown is the true center of the community, and its friendly, neighborhood feel will surely captivate you as soon as you arrive. Stroll the downtown, and you’ll find numerous restaurants, from cozy diners and casual pizza joints, to award-winning cafes—as well as a tempting collection of boutiques and specialty stores.
For those who love the outdoors, Northbrook proudly features 500 acres of beautiful parks and playgrounds, as well as a spectacular championship 27-hole golf course. While exploring downtown, be sure to make time to see the natural beauty of the Village Green Park and River Walk.
The excitement of competitive bike racing can be found all year round at Northbrook's nationally-renowned Ed Rudolph Velodrome, where top cyclists from around the world compete for major titles. Several other tourist favorites are within minutes of Northbrook, including the spectacular Chicago Botanic Garden and the highly acclaimed Ravinia Music Festival,

Located just 25 miles north of downtown Chicago, Northbrook is one of the most vibrant communities on Chicago’s North Shore and an ideal place to live, work, shop and play. The Village is graced with a vivacious and diverse business community, top-rated schools, outstanding recreational facilities and civic-minded residents who work tirelessly to bring together world class amenities while maintaining the area’s small-town charm.
Among the Fortune 500 companies that call Northbrook home are Allstate, Crate & Barrel, and Underwriters Laboratories.
