Picturesque Chicagoland community
“Nestled in the heart of the Chicagoland area, this picturesque community offers a great blend of city conveniences and small-town charm, from top-rated schools to beautiful parks and recreational options.” This is how Diana Matichyn, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker, describes the suburban village of Buffalo Grove and its Prairie View community, quiet oases of suburban comfort just an hour’s drive northwest of Chicago. An idyllic stretch of farmland for much of its history, Buffalo Grove has since become a vast community. At its heart is Prairie View, a small community that, in the words of Matichyn, “is conveniently located just 35 miles northeast of Chicago, making it an ideal place for everyone who wants to be near the city but still have a suburban lifestyle.”

Abundance of housing options with great curb appeal
Prairie View’s housing stock reflects the community’s long history. Most of this neighborhood’s side-streets are lined with colonial homes recalling Prairie View’s early 19th-century roots, while large, modern homes offer both diverse living styles and a taste of Prairie View’s continued popularity as a Chicago suburb. Matichyn shares, “Buffalo Grove offers a variety of housing options, from single-family homes, townhouses, and condos; the average home price is $364,000, but prices can vary depending on the size, location, and age of the property.”

The Vernon Area Public Library is also situated within Prairie View, ensuring that bookworms and students alike have a perfect spot for their studies and their literary passions.
