The post Labor Day and 2022 Flea Market in Kane County: Fun in Elk Grove Village, Illinois appeared first on Willow Crossing Blog.

What do one of the biggest shopping malls in the country and one of the biggest Forest Preserves in the United States have in common? They are both less than a 10 minute drive from Willow Crossing Apartments in Elk Grove Village, Illinois!

That’s right, all you nature lovers and shopping addicts will both have the amazing opportunity to visit two very unique places when you live at the wonderful Willow Crossing apartments. We care about comfort and convenience, and with our lush, premium location, you will have everything you need in the surrounding areas to enjoy your new home to the fullest.

We’ll start with Woodfield Mall. Located a mere 40 minutes west of Chicago, and 8 minutes from our apartments, Woodfield Mall is one of the largest shopping destinations in the United States. It boasts over 2 million square feet of retail shops, casual and fine dining, and family-friendly fun. An iconic destination, its 300 plus stores back up to the Busse Woods Ned Brown Forest preserve, which brings us to our next delightful destination.

Encompassing 3,558 acres, the Busse Woods is one of the largest forest preserves in the nation . The site includes historic upland forests, one of the largest boating and fishing waters in Cook County, and almost 13 miles of paved trail for walking, running, biking and more. It’s one of the most-used natural areas in Illinois, and it’s right in your backyard when you live at Willow Crossing.

Besides the adventures you’ll experience in these two iconic destinations, you’ll need a place to rest, relax, exercise and recoup in the comfort of your own home and apartment complex. Gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances and a separate dining nook allow for guests and families to dine with you anytime. High ceilings and private balconies expand your space into something truly unique. 

Outside, the two pools with oversized sundecks will be sure to impress your friends when the summer sun opens up the sky, and two grilling areas will make sure your guests feel like they – and you – are always on vacation. A bocce ball court, volleyball court, cornhole game, and outdoor fireplace with pond views will be sure to keep you busy, and when you want to beat the weather, a redesigned clubhouse and indoor fitness center will keep your relaxation up and your cardio high. 

Kids will enjoy the two outdoor playgrounds, and there is always something to do within walking distance. Finally, but never last, Fido will feel right at home with our pet-friendly amenities including a community dog park and onsite pet-washing station. Be sure to get that puppy his own shades.

Throw in the conveniently fast access to I-290, I-355 and Route 53 as well as O’Hare International Airport, and Willow Crossing Apartments just cannot be beat. Come take a tour and find out why you’ll want to make one of our apartments your new home.
