WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME

W

elcome to the Wheeling and Prospect Heights area, two suburban communities with plenty to offer.

One of the most attractive parts of both towns is that they are both so close to Chicago – by train or road.

Better yet, there is plenty to do in each community year-round. Each town is extremely well-run, with a dedicated staff of professionals running the day-to-day business, excellent park districts and well-trained first responders.

Wheeling, a diverse community with 40,000 residents, has an appealing mix of neighborhoods, industry, retail and restaurants. In fact, the village boasts the nationally known “restaurant row” on Milwaukee Avenue, which offers a wide

variety of cuisines to satisfy everyone’s palate.

Wheeling’s train station not only offers a link to Chicago via metra rail service on the north Central Line. It has become an even bigger focal point for the village because of the Wheeling town center development, which will be completed in 2019. Wheeling town center is next to the station and will feature 100,000 square feet of retail space – including a luxury theater, restaurants and cafes – and about 300 apartments.

Also, Wheeling and Prospect Heights are co-owners of the Chicago Executive Airport, which is a popular outlet for business travelers and is the third-busiest airport in the state.
