Elk Grove Village
Once a place where native elk roamed the forests and grasslands during the settlement of German farmers in 1848, Elk Grove Village has become more than a home to a herd of elk that is protected in the forest preserve of Busse Woods. This suburb of 33,000 people boasts a friendly community, thriving economy, excellent recreation, and varied housing stock.
