On a quiet morning it is not unusual to hear the roar of a lion or an elephant trumpet.
"Village of Brookfield as one of the top places in metro Chicago for first-time home buyers." Chicago Magazine, 2013 “Like nature? You’ll love this western suburb, which is home to Brookfield Zoo and a stretch of the Salt Creek forest preserve. You can easily find a brick bungalow or a postwar Georgian for under $200,000.”
