Home to the Glenwood School, a privately-funded school that was established in 1887 by Robert Todd Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's son) and Oscar Dudley, the Cook County village of Glenwood lies 23 miles south of downtown Chicago. Nearby towns include Homewood, Flossmoor, East Hazel Crest, Thornton, and Chicago Heights. Glenwood covers approximately four and one-half square miles, and its population is 9,000 (2000). It is located 23 miles from Midway Airport. Glenwood's housing stock is comprised of a variety of architectural styles, ranging from turn-of-the-century homes to modern condominiums and split-level homes. The downtown district features older Cape Cod residences and ranch-style home built primarily in the 1920s and 1930s. There is some renovation of older homes taking place, and some of the newest neighborhoods include upscale developments with large, custom-built homes.
