Every major retailer represented
“If you need something, you go to the Woodfield area of Schaumburg,” says real estate broker Jackie Lynch. “Every major retailer, jewelry store, furniture seller, warehouse store — any store you can think of — is there.” Home to hundreds of retail and commercial businesses and highways that run through it, Woodfield is also convenient to the northern and southern suburbs, and O’Hare Airport is only 15 miles away. “You can get most anywhere in 20 minutes,” Lynch says. She grew up in the city and has sold real estate in Chicago for 30 years. “Highway access is a big deal because the area is so densely packed.”
Destination for shopping and fun
Of all the retail amenities in the area, Woodfield Mall stands out as the crown jewel. The second-largest shopping mall in Illinois and one of the largest in the country, Woodfield features nearly 300 stores, specialty shops and restaurants and gets over 27 million visitors yearly. It also hosts carnivals in the summer. “It’s a place where people go to meet — it’s so central,” Lynch says. “For my high school reunion, we met at Westwood Tavern. It has a gigantic bar, party rooms and an outdoor space in the summer. Woodfield has several places like that.” Eateries are numerous too. Egg Harbor Café serves omelets, breakfast bowls, salads and sandwiches. Bowling, arcade games and craft beer are on the menu at Enterrium, an upscale sports bar, restaurant and urban chic hang-out. Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Costo and several other grocers are nearby. The area also features the Legoland Discovery Center Chicago and the AMC Streets of Woodfield 20 cinemas.
Woodfield mall has everything a shopper could want, from a large selection of brand name stores, to restaurants and entertainment options.

Good home mix
Only a fraction of this heavily commercial neighborhood is residential, primarily the area surrounding Birch Park. Here, single-family ranch-style houses built in the late ’50s sit on half-acre lots, selling for between $230,000 and $600,000. Townhouses are even more abundant, with an enclave off Plum Grove Road, built during the 1980s, called Weathersfield North. These homes offer one- and two-car garages and community amenities, including a clubhouse and pool. They sell for between $200,000 and $365,000. Weathersfield North also features two-bedroom condos with attached one-car garages that sell in the $200,000s. “With all the housing options, big families with four or five kids and singles can each find a home that fits them,” Lynch says. “The mix is good.”
The Woodfield neighborhood is well loved and lived in, as residents make it their own.
Custom built brick homes can be found throughout Woodfield.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
