Glenview, IL

Dronegenuity’s drone photography captures The Glen Town Center in Glenview, IL, a community that blends history with modern living. Once the site of Naval Air Station Glenview (NAS Glenview), this area was redeveloped after the base closed in 1995 into a 1,121-acre mixed-use neighborhood, keeping some of its history while adding homes, shops, and parks.

Aerial images show the town center’s walkable streets, lined with brick buildings, boutique stores, and restaurants like Kona Grill, Yard House, and Your Pie. The landmark control tower, a reminder of its military past, stands near shops and outdoor dining areas, where residents and visitors gather. Wide sidewalks, green spaces, and decorative lighting create a welcoming atmosphere, making The Glen a popular destination.

Beyond the shopping district, drone views highlight apartments, townhomes, and condos, including The Aloft at The Glen, Patriot Commons, and Regency at The Glen. The area also features Gallery Park, with trails, a lake, and an amphitheater, offering outdoor recreation.

With top-rated schools, The Glen Club Golf Course, and easy access to Chicago, The Glen has become one of Glenview’s most desirable places to live. Dronegenuity’s aerial photography provides a clear look at this transformation, showing how a former military base became a thriving community with shopping, dining, and recreation in one place.
