North Shore

The North Shore of Chicago is a prestigious collection of lakefront suburbs located just north of the city along Lake Michigan. Known for its historic homes, top-rated schools, and scenic landscapes, this area is one of the most sought-after real estate markets in Illinois.

Key suburbs include Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, and Lake Bluff. The real estate market here features luxury estates, charming vintage homes, and modern lakefront properties. With an average home price of $600,000+, the North Shore remains competitive, with homes typically spending 30-45 days on the market.

The area is known for its strong community engagement, access to parks and beaches, and cultural landmarks like the Bahá'í Temple (Wilmette) and Ravinia Festival (Highland Park). Its proximity to Chicago via Metra and major highways makes it a prime location for professionals and families.
