WINNETKA

Situated on the shore of Lake Michigan, the community of Winnetka, with its majestic estates, beautiful beaches, charming shopping districts, and exceptional school systems, remains one of the North Shore’s most desired places to live. Tree-lined streets reveal a village of distinction that prides itself on its commitment to “a tradition of residential neighborhoods, citizen involvement, local shops and educational excellence…”. Quite simply, the name Winnetka means “beautiful land”, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who might disagree.

Residential

Winnetka homes exemplify luxury living on the North Shore. For 2005, the sale price for a Winnetka home was $1,529,070- a number second only to Kenilworth among the entire Chicago metropolitan area. Accurately describing the grandeur of a “typical” Winnetka residence is close to impossible…the language simply does not allow for such majesty.

Commercial

In keeping with the superior residences of Winnetka, so too is the shopping district. Many of Winnetka’s small business are clustered in one of three major shopping areas, which resemble Tudor villages. There are antiques stores, gift shops, clothing and shoe stores, book stores, grocers, specialty food stores, and a variety of professional offices situated within these areas.
