Scenic parks, a nature preserve and top-notch schools in South Ridge

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.
