Population: 5,716 The village of Countryside is worldlier than its name implies. Incorporated in 1960, Countryside was one of the first communities in the area to obtain Lake Michigan water for its residents. This significant accomplishment for the then five-year-old community was the first of many progressive policies implemented by the municipality.

Dining options abound on Countryside's "restaurant row," and the town enjoys a booming retail area. Summer fun includes the Arts and Crafts Show and Countryside Fest, a community-wide food and entertainment event. Historic Route 66 runs through the center of the town and is known as Joliet Road. Across the street from Countryside is the new Quarry Shopping Center and Cinema Complex, which includes giant discount and outlet stores plus theaters featuring stadium seating.

Six parks, including Arie Crown Woods, offer residents a variety of recreational activities, and fishing enthusiasts will find a fish-stocked lake at Sundown Meadows. Golfers can hit a bucket of balls or play a round at Flagg Creek Golf Course, a 44-acre facility that was saved from commercial development and is shared by Burr Ridge. High school students attend District 204, and grade school students attend Districts 105, 106 and 107.
