Minutes from Elmhurst and Hillside, residents enjoy nearby dining, coffee shops, and everyday errands, while the Village of Berkeley keeps neighbors informed about services, permits, and local initiatives.

Joggers, cyclists, and dog-walkers make the most of quiet streets and nearby forest preserves, and weekend schedules often revolve around ballgames, picnics, and block get-togethers.
