High-quality living, overlooking the greens, in Eagle Brook and Mill Creek, has made these neighborhoods top choices for families, retirees and golf enthusiasts. New neighborhoods like Cooper Woods from Havlicek Builders and Riverbank Crossing by Taylor Morrison, both in the heart of charming Geneva, are excellent options. Looking to lease?

The City of Geneva and its neighboring communities are home to an abundance of top-notch cultural venues and activities, including events throughout the year.

Downtown art galleries and the active Cultural Arts Commission combine their forces to make Geneva and the greater Fox Valley area a worthy destination for those who enjoy the visual and performing arts. Geneva’s hometown theater, Playhouse 38, showcases talent in an intimate arena.

The 79-seat Steel Beam Theatre, located in St. Charles, has musicals, plays, improvisational comedy and children’s theater.

Geneva Community Unit School District 304 continues to build on its “Tradition of Excellence” to prepare its nearly 6,000 students for success in a constantly changing and increasingly globalized world. Collaboration among its 10 schools – one preschool, one high school, two middle schools and six neighborhood elementary schools – helps students reach the district’s vision of developing self-directed, lifelong learners; effective communicators; complex, creative and adaptive thinkers; and collaborative and productive citizens. In Geneva 304, staff and students are empowered to challenge themselves, try new things, and learn and grow from their failures.

Geneva School District’s test scores continually outpace state averages and its success is directly reflected in the accomplishments and awards achieved each year by students and faculty. Caring commitment and support for each student’s academic and social-emotional needs are a major part of Geneva 304.

In 2017, Geneva School District was ranked among the top school districts in Illinois by Niche, and placed in the top 3 percent of districts in the country. In addition to its academic success, Geneva 304 students continuously excel in athletics, music, theater and a host of other extracurricular activities. In 2012, Geneva was recognized by Bloomberg’s Businessweek as “The Best Place to Raise Kids in Illinois” in large part due to public school performance.

Alternatives to public education are readily available for Geneva students. St. Peter Elementary School (pre-K-8), Elgin Academy (preschool-12), Geneva Christian School (preschool-5) and Mansio Montessori of Geneva are among the private or parochial schools that serve the area.

Geneva residents are fortunate to have Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, Fox Valley Orthopedics and additional specialized health care options close by.

Delnor Hospital is a 159-bed acute-care facility in Geneva, with a medical staff that includes nearly 600 physicians in 60 specialties providing comprehensive medical care. Delnor Hospital was the first hospital in Illinois to receive Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the nation’s highest recognition for patient care and nursing excellence. The hospital is home to a state-of-the-art cancer center, and its Breast Health Center was first to be recognized by the prestigious National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers through the American College of Surgeons.

Geneva’s business climate remains healthy.

More than 1,000 businesses have established operations here with leading employers including Burgess Norton (one of the area’s oldest manufacturing companies), Northwestern Medicine – Central DuPage Hospital & Delnor Hospital, Continental Envelope, FONA International, Fermilab, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Greencore USA, Miner Enterprises, Gordon Flesch Company and Riverbank Laboratories, Inc.

The pro-business attitude emanating throughout Geneva is facilitated by the city’s Economic Development Department. This city department is responsible for attracting new commercial, office/research and light industrial developments to Geneva, while retaining and building the existing businesses that call the community home. The department strives to ensure the city’s high standard of living remains intact in the face of new development through the establishment of several successful business-focused programs including: the East Side Tax Increment Financing District, the downtown Façade Improvement/Historic Preservation Matching Grant and assistance with collaborative marketing efforts among Geneva businesses.

The Geneva Chamber of Commerce is also a major resource for local businesses and the community as a whole. This nonprofit organization is composed of large and small businesses, industry professionals and individuals dedicated to sound community and economic development. The Chamber presents its membership with a host of unmatched resources and opportunities for business promotion, networking and development.
