A friendly neighborhood in an idyllic setting
South Itasca is an idyllic neighborhood surrounded by parks, lakes and nature preserves. John Steinbeck might have been writing about the village when he wrote of the Midwest’s friendly strangers and its “deep topsoil, wealth of trees, and the lake country.” This midwestern community imbues a sense of pastoral living despite its ready access to urban conveniences. “Itasca has a quiet community feel,” says Nancy Funteas, a resident and Realtor with @properties. “A lot of people grow up here and stay here. Homes here are hard to come by, and when they are available, they move pretty quickly.”
South Itasca is an alluring village engulfed by picturesque parks, ponds and nature preserves.

Most homes feature private driveways and one or two-car garages. Prices range from around $375,000 to $975,000.
