The well-rounded community of Fox River Grove offers the ideal blend of business opportunity and hometown flavor. The village offers an array of single and multifamily housing opportunities, and is supported by a variety of specialty shops, restaurants and professional services. Good Shepherd Hospital is only minutes away. Construction at Hunters Farm, a 81-home upscale development abutting Route 22 is now underway. A key objective of the village's comprehensive plan is to preserve existing neighborhood quality through larger-lot and quality single-family housing development.
Residents enjoy a wide variety of recreational choices along the village's picturesque namesake river, including fishing, boating, swimming, picnicking and a wealth of sports activities. The village maintains more than 100 acres of public parks and recreational facilities, and is working to develop a proposed walking/bicycling path connecting the river with the commercial district.
