Staying healthy can be a challenge – particularly in the winter months after Christmas, when its cold and the last thing you want to do is get out and exercise.

However, for those who live or relocated to Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates or Bartlett you know that the area offers a high quality of life for all residents and many take advantage of our local facilities to stay healthy!

Also, do not forget we have the excellent parks system with walks and trails which you can take advantage of, as well as the State Park I wrote about: More About The Area – James “Pate” Philip State Park

There’s also the Schaumburg Bicycle Club and its activities.

What is certain is that there are many ways in which we could all get in shape this winter – whatever the weather!

Westridge of Bartlett is a 635 home community located on the far West side of Bartlett, only about 3 miles to downtown Bartlett and the Metra Train Station and just 30 miles West of downtown Chicago. The houses, built starting approximately 1993 by Centex Homes, range from around 1,600 square feet to over 2,600 square feet. Mostly the subdivision consists of 2 story homes but there are a few ranch plans as well.

One of the big attractions to the Westridge subdivision is having Nature Ridge elementary school right in the middle of the subdivision making it a short walk to school. The other 2 schools servicing Westridge, Kenyon Woods middle school and South Elgin high school, are also conveniently located only about 2 miles away.

Area recreation is abundant with direct access to the James “Pate” Phillip State Park (formerly called Tri-county State Park).  This 500+ acre parcel was converted back to original prairie grass back in the early 1990’s and houses a visitor center that offers educational programs through the Bartlett Park district. There is also over 5 miles of crushed limestone walking and bike paths. Most days you can see deer, red tail hawks, river otters and many other creatures. Westridge is also located only a ½ mile east of the Illinois Prairie Bike Path, Fox River Trail, with over 90 miles of walking/bike path that wind around the picturesque Fox River from Aurora to Crystal Lake.
