    Villa Park is such an amazing town! It has great middle schools and Willowbrook High School also has an amazing staff. I have been living here my whole life and I could not imagine moving anywhere else. Downtown Villa Park is pretty small but it offers some great restaurants and even a museum. The prairie path is a local favorite to go running, biking or just to take the dog out. The Villa Park public library also offers many books and a place for students to study and use the computers. There is also close proximity to Chicago, with a train going from Villa Park to Chicago.

    Villa Park is a well kept small community. Villa Park has a quaint downtown area on both sides of the town as well as a prairie path that runs through the middle with a lot of nostalgia. The area and community is great for families as well as single adults with a large variety of activities for both!
    Villa Park is generally a safe town. There are events and activities available throught the year for the community members, enabling social interactions and the ability to meet new people and understand our own community. The land, schools, and roads are generally well taken care of, allowing for children and students to make the most of their childhood.
