A forested suburban enclave near nature and shopping centers
Once a farming community, Kildeer is a suburb in northeastern Illinois that maintains a luxurious rural feel, with spacious yards filled with towering trees and access to natural spaces. “This is a beautiful area. The town is known for its tall trees and ponds, and everything is right around the corner,” says Cherie Smith Zurek, a real estate agent with RE/MAX Suburban who has served northeastern Illinois for 18 years. The neighborhood’s children are served by top-rated schools, and multiple retail centers offer convenient opportunities to shop, eat or attend community events. With access to traditional parks, nature preserves and a golf course, Kildeer residents enjoy a range of outdoor recreational activities as well.

Greenery frames New Traditional properties on large lots
Most Kildeer homes are arranged in subdivisions, but lush, spacious yards accompany many of the neighborhood’s homes. “Older homes were built into the woods, but the land around this new construction was cleared, so they are not surrounded by wooded areas like older homes,” Zurek says. Colonial Revivals and brick ranches built in the 1970s and 80s on 1-acre lots usually cost between $500,000 and $800,000. Lot sizes decrease with newer homes, though Kildeer’s forested ambiance remains. Homebuyers can find newly built New Traditional homes in planned communities for around $600,000, while prices for sprawling New Traditional properties with stone facades and long driveways built in the last 20 years start at $900,000 and increase to $2 million.

Kildeer residents run errands or commute by car
Roads rarely have sidewalks, and the neighborhood’s spacious lots make walking to amenities challenging. Kildeer locals rely on personal vehicles to run errands and commute to work — residential roads wind through the neighborhood and connect to state highways. U.S. Route 12 cuts through the neighborhood’s southwestern corner, while U.S. Route 22 through Kildeer to the north. State routes link with major interstates to the east so that residents can travel 35 miles southeast to Chicago.
