The 1,121 acre development was named The Glen in 1999. The Glen comprises approximately 15% of the land mass in Glenview. It contains new homes, offices, and shopping centers, including The Glen Town Center. Among other amenities, it also includes a lake, walking and biking trails, two golf courses, and a commuter train station nearby. Houses located within the Glen also include $1,000,000+ estates.
