About Palatine

Palatine is a community of approximately 69,144 residents in Cook County County, IL. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Large northwest suburb with diverse housing from affordable condos near the Metra station to executive homes in the western sections.

Wide mix of 1960s ranches, 1970s–1980s townhome complexes, and 1990s two-story subdivisions across a large village footprint.

Local Considerations

  • Salt Creek tributaries create flood-prone pockets in the central and southern portions of the village after sustained rainfall.
  • Extensive 1970s condo and townhome construction features flat roofs and shared drainage systems that are prone to failure.

Water System

Village water supplied by the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency from Lake Michigan through regional mains.

Emergency Access

IL-53 bisects the village providing north-south freeway access with Dundee Road and Northwest Highway as primary arterials.
