Scenic parks, a nature preserve and top-notch schools in South Ridge
The verdant expanse of the Paul Douglas Forest Preserve covers a broad swath of South Ridge, lending a rural vibe to this suburban Illinois neighborhood. “It’s a cute neighborhood where kids can ride their bikes to school, and there are always people out biking, running or walking,” says Marybeth Durkin, a real estate agent with @properties who lives in nearby Inverness. Set within the village of Hoffman Estates about 40 miles northwest of Chicago, the tranquil neighborhood is filled with leafy green parks, scenic ponds and rolling belts of grass and wetland. Highly rated schools are another top draw.
