NORTHFIELD

Just seventeen miles north of the Loop, the small, elegant community of Northfield offers a charming rural atmosphere while maintaining easy access to Chicago and all its attractions. Large private residences, excellent school systems, and a small business district offering a superior selection of restaurants and shop, all account for Northfield’s extremely content residents who enjoy their peaceful community and the privacy it affords.

Residential

A sojourn down some of Northfield’s private lanes reveals beautiful estates situated on large, wooded lots, perfect for stabling horses and enjoying the quiet that Northfield provides. Though housing styles range in style and size, median sale price of $908,062 in 2005 reveals their common denominator: luxury living in an ideal community.

Commercial

Given its small size, commerce in Northfield is reserved to two small strips located in the eastern section of the village. In that limited space, however, restaurants such as Tapas Gitana and Capriccios offer excellent dining options for residents, as well as neighboring shops and boutiques for casual shopping.

The Schools

Northfield primary students are serviced by elementary districts 29, 34, and 37, while high school students attend the highly acclaimed New Trier High School that has been recognized for its exceedingly high test scores and impressive rate of graduating students enrolling in college (98%). Freshmen attend the Northfield campus, while upperclassmen attend class in Winnetka.

The Parks

The Northfield Park District maintains a community center, equipped with a fitness center and gymnasium, as well as three parks that offer playgrounds, playing fields, a skating rink, a bird sanctuary, and lighted tennis courts. In addition to these public amenities, Northfield is also surrounded by numerous golf and country clubs, allowing for the opportunity to indulge almost any recreational interest.
