The Village of Buffalo Grove (VBG) is located 35 miles northwest of downtown Chicago and 20 miles north of O'Hare International Airport. The Village's land area is 9.3 square miles, with 21.7 percent in Cook County and the remaining 78.3 percent in Lake County.

Buffalo Grove has been recognized as one of the safest communities in the United States, the most family-friendly community in Illinois, one of the best Chicago suburbs for young professionals and one of "Best Places to Live" according to Money Magazine. 

Buffalo Grove's four elementary school districts and two high school districts consistently receive acknowledgement for providing high quality education. Additional amenities include two library districts, strong park and forest preserve districts, and over 800 acres of parks and open space, including two municipal golf courses and miles of bike trails. Residents and visitors alike enjoy these community assets and take part in the various cultural and entertainment activities held in the community. 

The Village's commercial base includes corporate business parks, a diverse retail sector and a wide range of professional services, including medical facilities. The Village is thrilled to be welcoming The Clove—a redevelopment project that will create a 20-acre modern central entertainment and residential district anchored by a national grocery store, retail shops, a park, restaurants, and luxury multi-family residential units.

VBG has an extensive transportation system with countless regional road system connections.  In addition, the Metra North Central Service rail line connected to downtown Chicago and O'Hare Airport. Pace Suburban Bus provides access to adjacent communities as well as Metra's Union Pacific Northwest and Milwaukee District North rail lines. Residents, businesses and their employees, and visitors all benefit by the top tier mobility in VBG.
