Communities- The North
Shore and Surrounding Areas
The North Shore is a collection of some of the most
sought after communities in the country, running north
from Chicago along the shores of Lake Michigan toward the
Wisconsin border. They feature charming downtowns, outstanding
schools, magnificent and diverse architecture, easy commutes to
the city by rail or roadway, towering trees and fabulous
cultural and recreational opportunities. Did I
mention great shopping and restaurants?
Each of the communities has its own unique personality. I
have lived in the Chicago area my whole life and would love to
show you the North Shore and the surrounding areas. If
you would like to see properties for sale or have questions you
can reach me at 847-922-4815 or by email.

communities?

Where do I find more information?
This section has links to the websites of the counties
I cover. They contain a wealth of information and more
helpful links. I also have links to the state of Illinois and
the Department of Natural Resources which governs Illinois
State Parks. Finally there is a link to help you determine
whether a community charges a tax on the sale of real estate,
and if so who pays it and whether a
community requires inspections. (The state of Illinois and
local counties tax the sale of real estate but not every
community has a tax.)
