Nature, Recreation, and Everyday Destinations Nearby
The 3,558-acre Ned Brown Preserve, known locally as Busse Woods, lies about two miles west and carries nearly 13 miles of paved trail around a 590-acre reservoir, a beautiful backdrop for walks, runs, and rides. A resident elk herd has occupied a pasture there since 1925, and the boating center rents kayaks and canoes from April through October, so a day on the water is easy to plan. RecPlex on West Dempster Street adds an indoor pool, gymnasium, and indoor track for active days when the weather does not cooperate, so between the preserve and RecPlex, there is always somewhere nearby to get outside or get moving. Crystal Court Shopping Center sits at the same intersection, roughly a four-minute walk away, so quick errands can be a pleasant stroll, and Jameson's Charhouse is about a quarter mile up Algonquin Road, handy for dinner out close to home. Randhurst Village to the northeast pairs Costco, Jewel-Osco, and a twelve-screen AMC theater, and Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg is four miles west, for shopping days and movie nights alike, so everything you need for a busy week, and a few treats for the weekend, sits close by.
