Villa Park, IL

Villa Park is a DuPage County village west of Chicago, created after the development of the Villa Park and Ardmore residential subdivisions. The community's name was changed to Villa Park as those subdivisions grew together, and it still has the feel of an older railroad suburb with compact neighborhoods and local business districts. The village manages 18 parks and recreation facilities, giving residents a strong local park system. Villa Park's economy is largely retail and service-oriented, with Chicago-area access as a major part of its appeal.
