Glenview, incorporated 1899, remained a farming community well into the 1930s. Many homes were built during the 1950s. More recently and especially for the last few years, Glenview has been experiencing new construction on a large scale. The former Glenview Naval Air Station is being developed into a 300-acre parcel which will include 64 acres of mixed residential, 35 acres of business and retail use, and a commercial and industrial office park on 72 acres. Heatherfield, at Willow and Waukegan roads, is a new development with more than 300 condominiums and 172 townhouses and single family homes. At Sanders Road, north of Milwaukee Avenue at Glenview Place, more than 100 townhouses and condominiums are being built. The Villas of Indian at Willow Road and 1-294 will have 60 townhouses. Further new developments are Glenridge Meadows at Willow and Landwehr roads and Orchard Properties at 711 Shermer.
