Metra Train Station at The Glen of North Glenview

It is one of the nicer Metra stations out there. It is very clean and always seems to have a smell of cleaning supplies. There are two warming houses which are very helpful during the winter. You never feel crowded during rush hour.
One downside is that there is no ticket agent on duty even though they are set up for one. This creates a hassle coming from downtown since you have to wait in line at Union Station for 20 minutes to get your return ticket.

Been commuting from here to Union station for the last 6 – 8 months or so. Parking is never a problem — I can park real close to the tracks. Indoor warming house for the nasty days is quiet and roomy. Never tried the coffees, but they are listed as pretty pricey. I’m glad I use this station and not the regular Glenview station.

This station was close to the hotel we were staying at, and I have to say this is a very nice station.
It is big and spacious and not too far down, there is a lovely warming station, which I thought was very nice of the people whom planned this station to do.
The restrooms are clean and there is a coffeehouse or café inside for those that need caffeine love to catch a 630 am train into the city to go back home.
This is really one of the nicer stations I have been to!

I almost miss living in the suburbs, taking the non-​urinated-​on Metra to work and waiting for it at this little gem of a station. Compared to most of the other Metra stations on this line, many of which are no more than a glorified bus shelter, this is a palace.
Not only do you have the main station, but the planners were good enough to build a fancy little guest house for it, which they refer to as a warming shelter. So while many unfortunate folks in Chicago have to wait outside for their train, the fine folks at the North Glenview station have two places to wait inside. And this is in a city that has two Metra stations. It can get cold in the winter here, you know.
The main station features enormous, immaculately clean bathrooms for both men and women, a small coffee shop, a number of books that you can take and return whenever, covered bike racks, and a ton of huge wooden benches. This would pass for an Amtrak station in many cities.
Coming from a smaller town, I don’t ever like having to pay for parking (it was $ 2 two years ago), but I’ve never seen the lot completely full, and it’s free after 4:00 p.m. and on weekends.
The Glen is a cookie-​cutter monstrosity of a neighborhood, but they’ve got a mighty fine train station there.

Though I actually do like my job, I am now unfortunately subject to the reverse commute to Glenview via Metra. The particular location is called «The Glen». It’s a very sterile environment up here and is a newly developed area that used to be the naval air station Glenview. «Glen» is defined as a small, secluded valley. And boy, for being so close to Chicago, the people up here sure act like it is. Talk about living life with blinders on in a bubble. If I was to repeat how people up here view and talk about the world, this review would immediately get flagged.
Anyhow, the «Glen» train station is quite nice and clean and also sterile. Besides clean, it has a little quaint to-​go coffee shop, is nicely landscaped and even has clean BATHROOMS! I wonder if all ‘burb Metra stations have bathrooms!(?) The stops in the city sure don’t. They are disability non-​friendly basic platforms that you have to climb questionable rickity stairs to get to.
The best part of the «Glen» station? D’Agostino’s (Southport/​Addison) opened a sattelite restaurant/​bar across the street, so if you miss your train at night and have a ½ hour to kill, you can get a beer and slice of yummy thin-​crust ‘za to go. Having D’Ags at least brings a little feeling of Chicago here.

First I’d like to state that I entered this location in as Northbrook because Google maps says it’s located there — and clearly they Google maps is ALWAYS right!
My sarcastic comment out of the way.. . this is a very nice metra station. I’ve taken the train from here once. The parking lot is HUGE! Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen a metra parking lot located by the station this big. The interior of the station is very nice and has a coffee place located inside where patrons can purchase a variety of items.
All in all, nice station and one I’d recommend using.
