Welcome to Saddle Brook of Oak Brook – a family community that enjoys custom homes, with large yards, winding tree-lined streets, bike paths, parks, playgrounds, and highly rated schools with excellent extracurricular programs.

Saddle Brook, developed in the late 1970s, has about 300 homes that are spread both east and west of Meyers Road. Many people find it by accident – travelling down quiet 35th street and coming upon the beautiful welcoming entrances. Others hear about it from friends who have homes in the subdivision and believe that this is one of the best places in Oak Brook to raise children.

There are so many family friendly things to enjoy. In the spring, residents come out and enjoy walking and riding their bikes down the bike paths and down the winding tree-filled streets. During the summer, children spend more time at the playgrounds and the older ones can be seen playing basketball and tennis at the park at the main entrance. Fall brings the beautiful changing leaves. Winter is for sledding and winter sports at the parks.

For many, the favorite year round activity is dog walking! Everyone is out walking their favorite family member all of the time. It’s a great way to meet new friends and see old ones.

With a strong homeowner’s association, Saddle Brook continues to work to keep its natural beauty. The board works hard to protect its assets and make the community family friendly. The association is known for its community picnic or more recently, an afternoon at an Oak Brook Polo match. These events make for great afternoons spent with friends and neighbors.

Saddle Brook is a special place. Please drive through one day and visit the parks, talk to the residents, and walk your dog. See what everyone who lives here knows. You’ll be glad that you did!

The annual Saddle Brook picnic was held September 8th. Over 470 residents with families attended and enjoyed the friendly and neighborly picnic. Oak Brook village’s president Larry Herman, Village Manager Greg Summers and fellow trustees Michael Manzo, Melissa Martin and Ed Tiesenga participated along with Oak Brook’s police and firemen in the picnic festivities.

There were activities for youngsters ranging from face painting, pony rides, animal petting and bouncy houses. To energize and sustain activities there were assortment of food items from veggie melts, Italian beef sandwiches, salads, sausages, pizza, and drinks.

An overall pleasant day with sunshine providing a warm climate for neighbors and friends to spend outdoors in Saddle Brook’s Park.

Saddle Brook Board thanks all the picnic volunteers without whose help, the picnic would not have been possible for the successful outcome.
