Property tax · $1,100/mo 1.91% of value a year — the ACS 2020-2024 median bill over the median home value for Cook County, IL
Insurance & upkeep · $741/mo insurance, maintenance and repairs together, from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey — the national figure for mortgaged homeowners, scaled to this market's home value. BLS publishes the three bundled and they cannot be split.
Both are priced off the same month's home value, so they rise with the market. Neither is a quote — a specific home's bill depends on its assessment, its age and its insurer.

What it’s like
The place. Glenview is a village in Cook County, and its residents are older than in much of the country. Incomes run well above the county's, and relatively few people live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values and rents are both high. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, banks, insurance and property, and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Glenview are Glenbrook HSD Schools, Glenview CCSD 34 Schools and The Kraft Heinz Company. Unemployment is higher than a year earlier, and the typical commute is a fairly short one, while many people work from home.
Things to do. The Chicago Botanic Garden and the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center are both a short drive away, one a botanical garden and the other a museum. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the best known museums in the country. Winters are cold and snowy, with a good deal of rain and melted snow across the year, and summers are warm.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Glenview’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Cook County and the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI metro.
