Better Living, Better Lawn Care in Schaumburg

In 2018, Money magazine bestowed the Village of Schaumburg with the title of Best Place to Live in the state of Illinois. The previous year, Money ranked the village as the 9th-best place to live in the entire country. In fact, with a livability score of 80, this city ranks better than 94% of all the places in the entire country. Unemployment is low, crime is low, and the schools are excellent. Schaumburg has a lot to be proud of.

The “village” was established in the mid-19th century, mainly by settlers from Germany. Many of the Germans immigrants came from Schaumburg-Lippe, now in Lower Saxony, and that’s how the village got its name.

For a long time, the village was the center of a farming community. However, by the mid-20th century, the construction of O'Hare International Airport and the Northwest Tollway brought a technical and corporate workforce to the village. The 1960s saw a lot of industrial, commercial, and office development, including the Woodfield Mall. The Woodfield Mall is still a lively place, and is ranked as Illinois's second-largest retail center, with nearly 300 stores and restaurants. The Woodfield Mall is a great place to spend an afternoon, especially when the weather turns cold.

To get an idea of what Schaumburg was like back in the old days, you can visit Spring Valley Park; the refuge spans 135 acres of forests, fields, streams, and marshes. There are miles of easy hiking trails, a nature center, and the 1880s historic Volkening farm. You can get your hands dirty helping with seasonal farm chores, or you can simply visit the farm animals and revel in the quiet. Spring Valley is open year-round and the admission is free.

Enjoy a great baseball game at an affordable price at Boomers Stadium this weekend. Parking is easy and free, and the food is delicious and inexpensive, too. The stadium is very clean and family-friendly; it’s an affordable way to treat the whole family to America’s pasttime.

The Chicago Athenaeum International Sculpture Park is actually right here on the grounds of the village town hall. The sculpture garden was designed by the Greek artist and architect, Ioannis Karalias. The sculptures are strategically placed within the natural open prairie. Most of the sculptures were installed during the late 1990s and are evocative of the industrial aesthetic of that era. However, there are others, such as the Vineland sculpture. This is a Stonehenge-like construction by the Norwegian artist, Jarle Rosseland. The installation simulates an ancient Viking Ship that may have once been used to discover the Americas.

One weirdly wonderful place to visit is the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology at 1061 American Lane. It’s free, but visits are by appointment only. If you’ve ever been curious about the practice of anesthesiology, this is the place to have all of your questions answered.
