Downtown
Where It All Began!
Mount Prospects town center is a pleasant area, bustling with activity. The
downtown district has experienced significant private and public
reinvestment over the past several years. Residential convenience goods are
interspersed with banks, government services, restaurants and service
establishments. Thanks in part to an award-winning facade improvement
program and streetscaping, the town center has become a popular place for
pedestrians, shoppers and businesses.
The commuter rail station, where nearly 2000 Mount Prospect area residents
gather each morning and evening, is a well-known focal point. The addition
of townhomes and luxury condominiums in the town center is an exciting new
trend for Mount Prospect, furthering the Village's vision of a mixed-use
downtown.
Recreation
Because All Work And No Play....
Four area park districts serve residents by maintaining almost 400 acres of
parks and recreation facilities within the Village. The Mount Prospect and
River Trails Park Districts provide a vast array of recreational and
relaxation activities for both adults and children at the RecPlex and Marvin
Weiss recreation centers. The park districts also provide an outdoor wave
pool, two golf courses, miniature golf course, sled hill, outdoor skating
rinks, playgrounds, ball fields and tennis courts that are available to all
residents. In addition, facilities of the 60,000 acre Cook County Forest
Preserve system are nearby.
Housing
A Place To Hang Your Hat....
A wide array of housing stock is available within the Village of Mount
Prospect. An excellent housing stock provides ample diversity for your
employee needs. You will find a strong apartment market with apartment
complexes providing varying degrees of amenities. There are excellent
opportunities for the first time home buyer to enter the housing market. In
addition to single family homes, condominiums and townhomes are available in
the Village. Larger estate homes are situated within the community and can
be found either nestled on the many tree lined streets or along the fairways
of one of the local golf courses.
The wide range of well-maintained housing is reflected in rising property
values throughout the Village. This diverse housing stock provides for a mix
of residences, well suited for your business needs. A well designed
community has been developed through insightful and prudent planning. Mount
Prospect has been able to retain its "village charm" while maintaining its
quality of life and financially sound economic base. |
