Northbrook

The first area to explore is Northbrook, located in Cook County. As a quiet village that boasts excellent schools, parks, and recreational facilities, it’s a great place to raise a family. It’s also home to first-class shopping destinations such as Northbrook Court, a local hotspot packed with specialty stores and restaurants. Perhaps it’s no surprise that our homes in Anets Woods of Northbrook are all sold out!

Hinsdale

The community of Hinsdale is renowned for its top-notch schools, picturesque streets, and opulent homes. The town has superb parks and green spaces, including the 52-acre Katherine Legge Memorial Park. Additionally, the quaint downtown area offers some of the best shopping experiences in the state, and it’s not too far from our duplex villas and single-family homes in Hinsdale Meadows.

Northfield

Known for its proximity to the North Branch of the Chicago River, living in Northfield provides easy access to nearby attractions such as the forest preserves, the Chicago Botanic Garden, and numerous golf courses. Edward R. James Companies is also a name that’s well-known in the area, thanks to our luxury rental townhome community in Northfield Mews, which features premium finishes, spacious floorplans, and resort-style amenities.

Glenview

Glenview is another fantastic option for potential buyers searching for exquisite living spaces in Illinois. In fact, Glenview is so wonderful that we’ve called it home for more than 60 years! We love everything from the top-rated restaurants to the Glenview Summer Fest, and our passion lies in building luxury homes for anyone else looking to live nearby.
