About Mount Prospect

Mount Prospect is a community of approximately 56,731 residents in Cook County County, IL. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Classic post-war northwest suburb with solid brick ranch housing stock and ongoing revitalization of the downtown Metra station area.

Predominantly 1950s–1960s brick ranch and bi-level homes with block foundations on standard 60-by-125-foot lots.

Local Considerations

  • Weller Creek flooding affects low-lying areas in the eastern portion of the village during prolonged storm events.
  • Many 1950s homes retain original cast iron drain stacks that corrode internally and develop hidden leaks behind walls.

Water System

Village operates deep wells supplemented by Lake Michigan water purchased from the Northwest Water Commission.

Emergency Access

Central Road and Elmhurst Road provide primary arterial access with I-90 tollway accessible within minutes from most neighborhoods.
