Planned in part by Frederick Olmsted, the designer of New York’s Central Park, Clarendon Hills is a “picture book small-town community.” Not quite two square miles in size, the village projects a distinct charm and style of its own. Residents and local organizations take an active role in maintaining the beauty of their community. The Lions Club sponsors annual events with gardening clubs who maintain the village triangle, a large flower garden on Main Street.

Transportation
Express rail service to the Loop is available from the local station via the Burlington Northern railroad. Drivers will find I-88, I-294 and I-55 equally convenient. Local bus service is available in and around the area.

Schools
District 181 houses two elementary schools. A Catholic grade school and a Montessori pre-school provide local alternatives. High schoolers generally attend Hinsdale Central High School in District 86, known for excellence in both academics and athletics. Complete day care facilities also serve the area.
