Wheeling and the surrounding north suburbs of Chicago show a dense suburban development pattern by the late 1990s, characterized by numerous educational campuses and expansive commercial centers like the Hawthorn Center. The landscape is defined by the Des Plaines River corridor, which preserves significant natural tracts such as the Ryerson Woods County Forest Preserve and Grainger Woods County Forest Preserve. These greenbelts contrast with the intensive residential growth in Buffalo Grove and Vernon Hills.
