Charming suburb with proximity to Libertyville and Vernon Hills
Cambridge-Liberty Village offers a small-town lifestyle amidst suburban convenience. The neighborhood just west of Libertyville sports various housing styles, close connections to the village’s quirky businesses, easy access to the familiar retailers in the Vernon Hills area and several outdoor recreational options. Yet, commuters needing access to Chicago have it with a Metra station just a few miles away. “It’s highly desirable because it's got homes in all price ranges, and there’s a vibrant downtown with great restaurants and shops,” says Maria Etling, a Realtor and broker with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Chicago. Etling is based in Libertyville and has sold homes in the area for over two decades. “Young professionals, young families, downsizers and empty nesters – all of the above. You’ve got all kinds coming here because there’s a little bit of everything.”
