A beautiful Winnetka setting with homes surrounding West Elm Park (all photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty).

We have been in the Village of Winnetka over the last two weeks meeting with buyers and sellers.  One client will be selling their long time home and moving to downtown Chicago. Winnetka is a beautiful "blue chip" North Shore suburb with some of the best ranked schools in the state (and country!). The downtown is charming and delivers on restaurants, coffee, boutique shopping and services. 

Even modest homes bring the charm (and command a premium) near the downtown.

The downtown offers vintage architecture mixed with redevelopment, new and old businesses.
