Homes For Sale In Oak Park River Forest, Park Ridge, Evanston, Barrington Glen Elyn, Wheaton, Glenview.....

For Sale in the TOP Chicago Suburbs

For almost 20 years, I have roamed the streets of Chicago and its suburbs for this magazine, checking out houses, schools, parks, stores, and other elements that contribute to quality of life. Along the way, I have found that in a metro area that stretches to the corners of six counties—and beyond—you can find an enormous variety of ways to live well.

Whether your conception of life lived well occurs in a super-tall high-rise at the pulsing center of a city, a tranquil little village with its sepia-toned charm intact, or something in between, you can find it in the Chicago area. In these pages, I will show you around 20 of my favorite places, including affluent areas filled with picturesque dream homes and more modestly priced places that are just as long on charm.
