Population: 53,170 The Village of Mount Prospect Is A Vibrant Community... located 22 miles from downtown Chicago and just minutes from both O'Hare International Airport, the world's busiest, and the much smaller Palwaukee Airport which services many corporate and private aircraft.

Established as a farming community soon after The Great Chicago Fire and incorporated in 1917, Mount Prospect is currently home to over 53,000 residents as well as several major corporations including 3Com, Nutrasweet, Braun Manufacturing, Mitsubishi, United Stationers, NTN Bearing and Cummins Allison. Mount Prospect has matured into a dynamic community of tree-lined neighborhoods, retail centers both large and small and architecturally pleasing light industrial/office complexes.

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.
