No. 3 Lake Forest has a median price of $674,000, with a range from $275,000 to $16.5 million. It's followed by Long Grove's five and Riverwoods' three. Winnetka, Glencoe and Kildeer each have only two, South Barrington has one, and Kenilworth has zero.
"Such homes have always been coveted by young couples from the city seeking a top-tier school district for their children," the Chicago Real Estate Daily report reads. "But demand is picking up this year amid the stronger city condo market, allowing them to sell there and buy in the suburbs, said Prudential Rubloff broker Scott Meland, who is listing a two-bedroom Wilmette home for $339,000."
