WELCOME TO FOREST GLEN!  

Like our modest logo says, Forest Glen is “Chicago’s Finest Community.” A gem of a neighborhood on Chicago’s Northwest Side, Forest Glen boasts the convenience of the city with the peacefulness of the suburbs and the neighborliness of the country. Naturally secluded and well-defined, Forest Glen contains about 550 households, almost all single-family homes.

This site is sponsored by the Forest Glen Community Club, founded in the 1920s, and active in bringing Forest Glen neighbors together for social and civic causes. Indeed, the Community Club and the relationships it fosters are in large part why the neighbors in Forest Glen are so friendly and willing to help each other. To read the minutes from our last meeting, click here.

PLAYLOT UPDATE FROM
JOHN KOLBASH, FGCC PRESIDENT

I was at the playlot construction today and I have to say it is coming along very nicely. I asked about a completion date and they said three weeks, that would put it in the second week of August. They will be pouring the rubber surface on the 21st of July. They have also started putting up the decorative wrought iron fence. I am just as excited to see the finished product as the kids are.
