A quiet suburb buffered by Busse Woods
Placed near Robert Morris University and two major highways, Mount Shire is an established north Chicago suburb. But it still has a quiet feel, due to the buffer of the sprawling Busse Woods on the west end. The neighborhood has experienced a bit of a rollercoaster recently, but is on a trajectory back to its usual easygoing character. “A lot of homebuyers surged into this area in 2023, when the Chicago Cubs announced they’d be moving into the area,” says Realtor Brandon Rodriguez with Corona Homes Team. “But since that plan has gone up in the air in 2024, the rate of people moving in there has stabilized.”
In Mount Shire homes driveways lead to street-facing attached garages.

Midcentury styles starting at $200,000
Midcentury split-levels are commonly seen in the area, along with other modest styles. “You’ll see entry-level houses such as ranches without basements,” says Realtor Holly Connors with @properties. Prices tend to be based on square footage and range from $200,000 to $500,000. For example, the top of the market is represented by four-bedroom, two-bathroom split-levels with 2,400 square feet of living space. Yards are decorated with a tall mature tree or two, but otherwise large swaths of grassy lawn frame the property. Driveways lead to street-facing attached garages, and one side of the street typically has a sidewalk.
