Wheeling - One of Ten Best places to
raise a family
(click here for details)
A well-rounded community in Chicago's booming northwest
suburbs...we have it all!
 Northwest suburban Cook County, along with the rest of the
northwest suburbs, has had tremendous economic and population
growth over the past three decades. As part of that
growth, Wheeling population trends continue to edge upward.
The
number of employees in Northwest Cook County also continues to
grow at a rate of almost 50 percent per decade since 1976.
Wheeling's employment growth rate has in fact accelerated during
the last quarter of the 20th Century. The number of
businesses in the Village has also more than doubled since 1981.
Household income also continues to increase here. These
indicators point to Wheeling in Chicago's Northwest Suburbs as a
good place to live, work and do business.
Wheeling residents are a diverse group of people, with
ancestries from all over the world, who share a high standard of
living. The variety of age and styles of housing stock in
the community allows from young couples starting a family to
find suitable and affordable single family home in one of
Wheeling's older tree lined neighborhoods. Likewise,
business executives can find a great selection of homes here in
their size and price ranges. For empty nesters and
homeowners on the go there are many well-maintained condominium
developments in the Village. There is also a wealth of
rental apartment complexes in Wheeling, to accommodate families
of all sizes.
Growth and development in and around Wheeling offers much
competition for the local consumers' shopping dollar.
Wheeling is within a few minutes drive of Golf Mill, Randhurst,
Hawthorne Center, and Northbrook Court regional shopping malls.
Within the Village limits are a dozen different shopping
centers, with additional centers being planned. These
centers, along with Wheeling's other commercial stores, provide
a variety of convenient retail and consumer services to Wheeling
residents.
