The Village of Berkeley is located on Cook County's western border. With Interstates 290 and 294 forming its western and part of its southern boundary, and the Union Pacific Railroad (formerly the Chicago & North Western) and the large Proviso classification yard to the north, Berkeley has ready access to the metropolitan region. Yet the transportation corridors that make Berkeley accessible to distant places also serve to separate the Village from its nearest neighbors (Elmhurst, Bellwood and Hillside) creating a small-town atmosphere.

The Village of Berkeley is a great place to live. Berkeley residents enjoy safe and well maintained neighborhoods, enriching activities and entertainment, and diverse group of people to call neighbors. These aspects continue to help Berkeley strive for A Bright Future.
