Clarendon Hills is served by Community Consolidated School District 181. Clarendon Hills Middle School was rated one of the top middle schools in the nation, and feeds into Hinsdale Central High School, which is rated a Gold Medal School.  

Clarendon Hills enjoys easy transportation access to Chicago, with a station on the Metra BNSF railway line and proximity to the I-55, I-88 and I-294 expressways.  

Hinsdale Hospital, a highly-rated health care facility, is also easily accessible from Clarendon Hills.

What to See

The beautiful Hinsdale Golf Club is located in Clarendon Hills. Just across Chicago Avenue from the golf club, the First Folio Shakespeare Festival company performs in stunning outdoor and indoor venues on the Mayslake Peabody Estate grounds.  

Two annual community events, Daisy Days and the Daisy Dash commemorate founder Henry Middaugh’s accidental daisy fields. In the late 1800s, Middaugh mistakenly planted daisy seeds instead of grass seed and the result was hundreds of acres of daisies blooming in Clarendon Hills, which was quite a tourist attraction at the time. For a bit of Gothic intrigue, diners at The Country House Restaurant can hear the legend of the ghost that is supposed to haunt the place.  At Christmas time, Clarendon Hills is all aglow. Lawns and streets are lined with luminary candle lights on Christmas Eve, and during the Christmas Walk shoppers are greeted with cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider as they are serenaded by carolers and watch the tree lighting ceremony.

Clarendon Hills is contained entirely within Illinois’ 6th congressional district.

In 2018, Sean Casten is running against the incumbent Peter Roskam, who has held the 6th district congressional seat since 2007.

Sean is committed to serving Clarendon Hills and the rest of the 6th district by focusing on facts and working to strengthen the community’s schools and economy.
