Population: 12,861 Known the city of roses and as LaGrange's sister community, LaGrange Park is a well-kept gem offering just as many comforts as its next-door neighbor. Originally settled by farmers in 1892, LaGrange Park didn't experience noticeable growth until after World War II, and the styles of homes represent many periods of residential development. The historic area along Ogden Avenue boasts lovely older homes, while there are plenty of beautiful newer homes nearby.

LaGrange Park's contemporary library is one of the newest in the area - a big plus for avid readers and families with children. In Memorial Park near the library, LaGrange Park residents enjoy summertime outdoor concerts perched on a grassy hill. Other community events include annual Easter egg hunts, farmers' markets, the Rose Show, and the 5K Run for the Roses held each May.
