About Prospect Heights

Prospect Heights is a Cook County city and northwest suburb of Chicago. The available local detail is thin, but its role is clear: a residential and light-commercial suburb near Wheeling, Mount Prospect, and Arlington Heights, with schools, parks, commuter roads, and nearby Metra access shaping everyday life. Prospect Heights does not have the profile of a large downtown suburb, but it works as a practical, established part of Chicago's northwest suburban belt.
