Inverness, Illinois. Amongst Chicagoans, the name Inverness is synonymous with wealth, exclusive homes and expansive lots. Inverness has become the place to raise a family. With this in mind, the park district is developing a third green with soccer fields and tennis courts. Also, an urban park was recently completed in the center of town to retain the woodsy feel of the village’s beginnings.

The community of Inverness was named after a county in Scotland. First developed in 1938 by Arthur T. McIntosh, Inverness was designed as a getaway, patterned after the Colonial homes of Williamsburg, Virginia. Today, the winding roads and scenic landscaping still provide the 6,789 residents with the ambience of country living while being just around the corner from the amenities of urban life.
