Hollywood Ridge, Wheeling Illinois

This is a popular subdivision in Wheeling that is strategically located between Dundee and Elmhurst
Roads. It was started in 1961 and built on fertile land that was once used as a dairy farm. It was
built, originally, around the elementary school, Eugene Field School (which is now grades K-5). Preference Homes,
Inc. showed five basic floor plans and attempted to lure buyers from the city by boasting of open, flowing floor
plans. Homes were designed so that a particular style and exterior were placed on each lot so that each home would
have its own individuality and still be an architecturally attractive community. Most homes have brick fronts and
aluminum siding.
Located between major expressways, walking distance to the new Metra train, close to shopping, and to
Wheeling Park District's Community and Recreation Center (including the Aquatic Pool).
Children are within walking distance to the elementary and middle schools. Jack London Middle School (grades
6-8) is accessible by foot bridge which stretches over Dundee Road. High school students are taken by bus to
Buffalo Grove High School which is located west of the subdivision on Dundee Road.
Over the years I have handled the sales of numerous homes in Hollywood Ridge, many more than once.
