Thriving suburban community with urban conveniences
La Salceda del Norte is situated in Northbrook, a vibrant suburb north of Chicago known for its excellent schools, diverse neighborhoods, and abundance of amenities. The area surrounding the condominium complex offers a mix of residential charm and commercial convenience, making it an attractive location for a wide range of residents.
Education is a cornerstone of the Northbrook community, with the condominium located near several highly-rated schools.

Wescott Elementary School, another excellent option with a 9/10 GreatSchools rating, is a brief five-minute drive. For high school students, the renowned Glenbrook North High School, boasting a 10/10 GreatSchools rating and an A+ from Niche, is less than a mile away.
The neighborhood offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation and leisure. Greenview Park, a local favorite, is a mere 10-minute walk from the complex. Willow Park, about a 15-minute walk away, features tennis courts, trails, and playgrounds. For those willing to venture a bit further, Techny Prairie Park and Fields, located about a 25-minute walk or 5-minute drive away, offers over 100 acres of recreational space including a golf course, fishing stations, and various sports fields.
Shopping and dining options abound in the vicinity. The Glen shopping center, a short drive away, provides a mix of retail and dining experiences. For everyday needs, residents can find a Mariano's grocery store about a 55-minute walk or short drive away.

Convenient access to local and regional transit options
La Salceda del Norte's location in Northbrook provides residents with several transportation options, balancing suburban living with accessibility to the greater Chicago area. While the area is somewhat car-dependent, there are public transit options available for those preferring alternative modes of transportation.
For local travel, the Pace bus system serves the area, with the Shermer Valencia & Heinz bus stop located just a 5-minute walk from the complex. This stop is serviced by the Linden CTA/Glenview/Northbrook Court line, providing connections to nearby communities and shopping areas.
Commuters heading into Chicago will find the North Glenview Metra Station particularly useful. Located about a 5-minute drive from La Salceda del Norte, this station is on the Milwaukee District North Line, offering regular service to downtown Chicago's Union Station. This makes the complex an attractive option for those who work in the city but prefer a suburban lifestyle.
For air travel, residents have convenient access to two major airports. Chicago O'Hare International Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive away, while Chicago Midway International Airport can be reached in about 45 minutes by car.
The area around La Salceda del Norte is somewhat bikeable, with some bike infrastructure. While not extensive, there are biking trails in nearby parks that can be used for recreation or short trips. The neighborhood is also somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, particularly to nearby parks and local eateries.
For those who prefer to drive, the complex's location provides easy access to major roadways. Each unit typically comes with one garage space and one outdoor unassigned parking space, ensuring residents have ample parking options. The proximity to highways makes it convenient for residents to travel to other parts of the Chicago metropolitan area for work or leisure.
While public transit options are available, the transportation landscape around La Salceda del Norte is more geared towards personal vehicles, reflecting its suburban setting. However, the combination of local bus service, nearby Metra access, and well-maintained roads provides residents with flexibility in their transportation choices.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
