Streets Named for Developers
It is very common for developers to name streets in their subdivisions after themselves or members of their family. This is how many of the streets in Mount Prospect got their names. Judith Ann Drive was named for Judith Ann Serafine the developer of the Garden subdivision. Several streets in Mount Prospect are named for the developments they run through, like Bel-Aire Lane and Golfview Drive. Milburn Avenue is named after the construction company that built some of the first paved roads in Mount Prospect.
