Welcome to Western Springs!

Since the springs dried up in 1890, the Village water has been drawn from underground aquifers and processed using reverse osmosis system. The Village is also well known by it’sΒ Historical Water Tower Museum. A quiet and affluent suburb a short trip from downtown Chicago, many residents commute into the city via the BSNF train line. Recognized as one of the Safest Cities in Illinois and one of the Best Cities for Young FamiliesΒ and rated 10/10 on GreatSchools.org.
