Demographics
 

If you are considering a new business venture, relocating a current business or expanding with multiple locations, Downtown Downers Grove welcomes you!

The recent redevelopment and infrastructure improvements in Downtown Downers Grove were strategically thought-out projects that support a strong future for our central business district.

Its demographics, central location and balanced mix of businesses provide the foundation for a healthy and progressive commercial community.
 
Downtown Downers Grove is a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) district and a SSA (Special Service Area) district. Recent infrastructure redevelopment included the addition of new streetscaping, landscaping and a 791-space parking deck.  

These improvements have resulted in distinguished honors for Downtown Downers Grove, such as the one by the Chicago Tribune which heralds it as one of the ‘Top Ten Suburban Downtowns’.  New retail, residential and commercial developments currently underway are sure to add to these distinctions.

The Downers Grove community is also a demographically desirable market area.  A large portion of residents are homeowners with an above-average annual median income.
 
Downtown Downers Grove is centrally located within Chicago’s western suburbs and can be accessed easily from one of four of the area’s
major interstates – I-355, I-55, I-294 and I-88.  

The Downers Grove Main Street train station serves the Metra (BNSF) Railway transporting over 2,000 commuters daily between Aurora and Chicago.  Chicago’s Loop as well as O’Hare and Midway airports are all within 25 to 45 minutes in proximity.
 
A multitude of business categories are represented in the over 300 retail and business-to-business endeavors that exists in Downtown Downers Grove.  Patrons travel from several suburbs away to enjoy our unique boutiques and award-winning restaurants and bistros.  Many successful entrepreneurial efforts in the apparel, home improvement, technical, restaurant and financial fields have found their niche in our community.
