Glen Oak Forest Preserve spans 129 acres in western DuPage County and offers residents direct access to both paved and natural-surface trails for walking, running, and cycling. A 1.8-mile crushed-limestone loop circles through mature oak-hickory woodland and a small prairie restoration area, while a paved spur connects to the Illinois Prairie Path, allowing longer rides toward downtown Wheaton or the Fox River. The preserve’s central picnic shelter and adjacent playground are open daily and reservable for neighborhood gatherings. Fishing is permitted at the 3-acre pond, and birders can observe seasonal migrants along the water’s edge. The preserve is located less than two miles from the Glen Ellyn Metra station and within a five-minute drive of downtown shops and restaurants, giving homeowners convenient access to both recreation and daily services without leaving the immediate area.
Glen Oak Forest Preserve currently has 4 single family homes for sale, 2 townhouses for sale, and 1 lot for sale. For anyone looking for a brand new home, there is 1 new construction home for sale.
