Quiet living near nature in Illinois

In the northeastern section of Illinois, just under an hour west of Lake Michigan, East Schaumburg lies on the western edge of a popular nature preserve and provides its residents with schools rated in the A range, a classic suburban lifestyle and some eclectic local eateries perfect for a night out. “It’s a huge draw for families,” says Sarah Leonard, broker and team leader of the Sarah Leonard Team and owner of Legacy Properties. “The schools are the biggest draw, but it also attracts commuters because of its location. There’s so much to do, from the nearby parks to Woodfield Mall, which brings a ton of people to the area.”

A landmark mall with stores, restaurants and more

For most shopping necessities, look no further than Woodfield Mall. Located right across Interstate 72 from Schaumburg and with more than 200 outlets for dining, shopping, entertainment and more, Woodfield is the largest mall in the entire state of Illinois. “It’s got some incredible department stores, so everyone goes there,” Leonard says. “The mall has so many things, from Nordstrom to Peppa Pig World of Play to Build-a-Bear. It’s for anyone and everyone and it’s a melting pot of people.” From browsing at Foot Locker and Forever 21, to eating at chains like Subway, Chipotle and Burger King, to finding entertainment products at the LEGO Store or GameStop, it’s a one-stop-shop where an entire day could be spent.

Schaumburg Road slices through the center of the neighborhood, while Interstate 290 makes up the eastern side and runs right into downtown Chicago, which is just under an hour to the east.
