Long Grove, IL Condo for Sale

Known for its luxury homes, top-ranked schools and sense of history, Long Grove is a village 35 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. Here, residents enjoy a quiet countryside ambiance and proximity to numerous golf courses and natural areas. Downtown's historic streets blend seamlessly with the winding suburban streets. As the state’s first historic district, the village has a strong sense of preservation for its rustic atmosphere. “They are very rigid about rules to keep things rural,” explains Sally Leoni, real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Realty, who grew up in the area. “There are no sidewalks or chain stores, and they would never allow something like a Starbucks.” The median price for single-family homes in the area is in the mid-$900,000s, more than double the median price in the Chicago area, Illinois and the nation. The southern end of Long Grove is filled with luxurious neo-traditional estates, often with multiple acres of land. West Shore Park is known for its waterfront cottages, which have access to private beaches and boat access on Diamond Lake. Five different school districts serve Long Grove. The largest of them for elementary and middle school is Kildeer Countryside School
