A Great Place to Live, Work, Visit and Play!

Located 13 miles west of downtown Chicago, Brookfield is a pastoral suburb with over 19,000 residents and is home to the world famous Brookfield Zoo.

On May 8, 1993, the Chicago Tribune wrote "The real character of Brookfield is clearly evident. Friendliness and family orientation are two traits almost everyone in town highlights as primary reasons they like calling Brookfield home." Brookfield, said the Tribune, is a "community that puts family first, and quite possibly second, third and fourth as well." The article went on to say "The whole town, it seems, is on a first-name basis and the village president picks up his own telephone." Not much has changed.

With easy access to trains, buses, highways, and airports, Brookfield is an established, stable, and serene suburb of only 3.1 square miles. We are often called "the world's most visited village" because the world famous Brookfield Zoo attracts so many visitors. On a quiet morning it is not unusual to hear the roar of a lion or an elephant trumpet.

Brookfield is a vibrant diverse community of 19,085 individuals supporting a variety of churches, good schools, an excellent library, low taxes, convenient transportation, and extensive parks and recreation programs. We are committed to economic development, modernizing, building, and making our neighborhoods better and safer. Whether shopping, dining, or enjoying the zoo, you will find our humble village a remarkable and friendly place. A great place to live, raise a family, shop, and do business, Brookfield is truly a community in every sense of the word.
