It is officially located on 724 Green Bay Road, however it also runs parallel to Old Green Bay Road, both of which intersect with Park Avenue. As of 2018, Glencoe is the 72nd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 732 weekday boardings.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/planning/ridership/2018_summary_results_report_final.pdf|title=Commuter Rail System Station Boarding/Alighting Count: Summary Results Fall 2018|date=April 2019|website=Metra|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526034459/https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/planning/ridership/2018_summary_results_report_final.pdf|archive-date=26 May 2019|url-status=}}</ref>

Like [[Braeside station]], Glencoe is in close proximity to the [[Cook County Forest Preserves]]' Turnbull Woods, William N. Erickson Preserve, and the [[Chicago Botanic Garden]]. Unlike Braeside, Glencoe was built in a partial Romanesque-style for the [[Chicago and North Western Railway]] by architect [[Charles Sumner Frost]] in 1891. The [[Green Bay Trail|Green Bay Bike Trail]], and the local Veterans Memorial Park are also nearby.
Northbound trains go as far north as [[Kenosha, Wisconsin]], and southbound trains go as far as [[Chicago]]'s [[Ogilvie Transportation Center]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}} The station was considered for listing on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1991, but this was not done after the [[Chicago and North Western Railway]], which owned the property, objected.<ref>[http://www.villageofglencoe.org/about/history/architecture.aspx The Village of Glencoe - The Village Architecture] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100704050433/http://www.villageofglencoe.org/about/history/architecture.aspx |date=2010-07-04 }}</ref>
