Glenview's housing covers a wide range: established neighborhoods of detached houses, newer homes in and around The Glen, and a real supply of condos and townhomes. It sits west of the lakefront towns, with Metra service into Union Station and quick access to the expressways, which suits buyers who drive as much as they take the train.

What these numbers say:
Glenview has a steady supply of condos and townhomes, many near downtown Glenview and in and around The Glen. If you're buying one, the building matters as much as the unit. Ask for the budget, the reserve study and the last year or two of board minutes before you write an offer. My guide to HOA reserves and special assessments covers what to look for, including the Fannie Mae reserve requirement that rises in January 2027.
Detached houses. Most of Glenview's housing. You'll see mid-century ranches and split-levels, larger homes on bigger lots, and newer construction, including in The Glen, which was built on the former Naval Air Station Glenview.
Condos and townhomes. A meaningful share of the market, covered above.
Glenview is on Metra's Milwaukee District North line, with stops at Glenview and Glen of North Glenview, and trains run into Union Station rather than Ogilvie. The Edens Expressway and I-294 are both close, which is part of why Glenview appeals to people who drive to work or the airport.
