Glen Ellyn pairs a genuinely charming downtown around Lake Ellyn with some of the most architecturally varied housing stock in the western suburbs — Colonial Revival, Victorian, and custom contemporary homes all within blocks of each other.

Why Buyers & Sellers Choose Glen Ellyn

Schools

High schoolers attend Glenbard Township District 87, choosing between Glenbard West and Glenbard South. The College of DuPage, one of the largest community colleges in the country, is also based here.

Getting Around

The Union Pacific West Metra line stops right in downtown Glen Ellyn — an easy walk from most of the town’s core neighborhoods to the platform.

Lifestyle & Downtown

Main Street is walkable and genuinely used — Taste of Glen Ellyn, a Fourth of July parade, and a downtown that doesn’t roll up at 6pm. Northside, Oak Hill, and Northeast are the subdivisions that move fastest.
