Oak Brook is located 17 miles west of Chicago, and is serviced by many expressways allowing easy access to the downtown area. Consisting primarily of residential subdivisions, Oak Brook has an expansive commercial and retail community including the headquarters for several national companies. Residents enjoy all the amenities of a larger city with the ample space and privacy of a smaller suburb.
Beginning in the 1960s, several luxury subdivisions were built. In the years that followed, many nationally prominent corporations, such as Armour & Company, Eastman Kodak, and McDonald's, opened offices in OakBrook. Development continued in the 1990s, including a major expansion of the shopping center. Oak Brook real estate ranges from smaller single-family homes to million-dollar estates. Condominiums can also be found in the community. Residents enjoy various recreational opportunities thanks to the Oak Brook Park District, which offers a tennis center, bike bath, disc golf course, fitness center, the Dean Nature Sanctuary, and 150 acres of park.
Oakbrook, a suburb of Chicago 17 miles West of downtown Chicago, is the headquarters of McDonald's and Lions Clubs International. OakBrook was incorporated as a Village in 1958, due in large part to the efforts of Paul Butler, a prominent civic leader and landowner whose father had first moved to the vicinity in 1898 and opened a dairy farm shortly thereafter. Prior to incorporation, the name OakBrook was used by local residents to distinguish their community from neighboring Hinsdale and Elmhurst, going back to the founding of the OakBrook Civic Association almost two decades earlier. The original boundaries were smaller than the present extent of the Village, but a considerable amount of land was acquired soon after the founding of the Village, including the land that is now the site of the Oakbrook Center shopping mall, which opened in 1962 and became the commercial heart of the village.
