Welcome to the Village of Streamwood! For your convenience, we have assembled some information to get you acquainted with your new community. We have a list of things to remember when you first move into your new home. We encourage you to look through this information as well as other information on our website. We also encourage you to get involved. The Village has a number of opportunities for residents to volunteer. It's a great way to help and learn about your community, and to meet new friends and neighbors!
If you have any questions, please contact us. Call Village Hall at (630) 736-3800.
