Townhouse subdivision on the east side of Shermer Road
Much of the neighborhood developed in the the 1950s and ‘60s and now contains a mixture of single-family homes, townhouses and condos in Chesterfield Gardens. The namesake subdivision is a collection of townhouses and condos that range from $275,000 to $375,000. “Some of them are end-unit bi-levels with cathedral ceilings,” Kando says. The single-family housing stock uses ranch-style, bi-level, and Victorian-influenced designs. These sell from $300,000 to $660,000. The density of housing in the area results in an active noise score on the First Street website, which tracks environmental factors. The website also indicates that the neighborhood experiences occasional moderate air quality.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
