About Berkeley
Berkeley (pronounced BURK-lee) is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Incorporated in 1924, the population at the 2020 census was 5,338.
The town has a commuter railroad station on Metra's Union Pacific West Line with service to downtown Chicago.
Berkeley is situated fourteen miles west of the Chicago Loop in Cook County. Berkeley is on the western edge of Cook County. Berkeley has instant access to the metropolitan area, with Interstates 290 and 294 comprising its western and part of its southern boundaries, and the Union Pacific Railroad (originally the Chicago & North Western) and the large Proviso classification yard to the north. However, the transit arteries that link Berkeley to separate locations also function to isolate the village from its close neighbors, providing it a small-town atmosphere.
