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.”
East Schaumburg is a harmonious blend of townhomes, single family homes, parks and more.
Nature paths with blooming flowers make for vibrant outdoor landscapes.
