Glendale Heights is a village in DuPage County in suburban Chicago. It's a wonderful place to be because of the diverse culture and various people there. As a result of its size, the communtiy is very close-knit, safe, and a has a healthy enviroment. I've been living here for the past eleven years and I can truly say that this is a great place to be! The library, sports hub, and police department have events often that help the kids in the area learn about new and fascinating things. The school districts are great too.
I’ve lived in Glendale Heights, IL my entire life until I have recently moved into Hanover Park, IL. My experience in this city is pretty average, the cost of living here is pretty substandard in comparison to nearby cities such as Carol Stream and Bloomingdale. As far as diversity goes, there’s a pretty high rate of minorities, considering the fact there’s been an influx of minorities in recent years. Glendale Heights is generally safe; however, 5 years ago there was an incident with vandalism on someone’s property, drug dealing has been occurring issue, and theft. The schools children are sent to here are poor as well.
I’ve been in Glendale heights since I was six years old. To think back on the years, I’ve only comes to find out that this place is my home. The best part about where I live is there are so many stores. Target, Walmart, Jewel, etc. During the summertime you can go get a nice refreshment at Tommy’s. A nice hotdog joint. From where I live , It’s only a 7 min walk. Glendale Heights is a beautiful mellow town. If there’s one thing I would change, It would be nothing. This is my home. And I love it here.
