#1 Priority: Schools
One of the best parts of focusing in the Western Suburbs real estate market while working with buyers is watching their families grow and finding them the perfect home to raise their children. Many of our clients are first time home buyers who have lived in the city for the last few years. Often times we have helped them rent throughout various neighborhoods of Chicago in the past. While they have very much enjoyed the vibrant nightlife, hustle bustle, and proximity to nearly everything, at some point they find themselves looking toward the suburbs. As their careers, relationships, families, and lives have evolved, most times they have the urge to move into a quiet neighborhood atmosphere with more space and most importantly Great Schools.
While there are many different metrics and data that go into determining whether the schools in the area your are searching are what you are looking for, we have the tools and knowledge to help you determine where the best fit is for you.
