Just across the border from Chicago
The Courtland Park neighborhood is in the suburban village of Niles, twenty miles northwest of downtown Chicago. It's less than 10 miles northeast of Chicago O'Hare International Airport and about halfway between Interstates 294 and 94. “Niles borders Chicago - if you’re driving on Touhy Avenue, half of your car may be in Niles, and half may be in Chicago,” says Mitch Johnson, communications and multimedia coordinator for the village of Niles. “We’re the first northwest suburb.” The suburb appeals to a wide range of people, offering a melting pot of cultures from across the globe. “The village of Niles is ethnically diverse,” says Katie Schneider, community engagement coordinator. “About 40% of the people here speak English as a second language. We’re very proud of that diversity.”
Renovations and new builds in Courtland Park
The neighborhood has single-family homes from the 1950s through the '80s mixed with townhouses, condos, and apartments. Ranch-style and split-level homes are prominent designs, and sale prices range from $390,000 to $530,000. Sprawling, contemporary houses built within the past 30 years cost $700,000 to over $1 million. “Those houses were in the place of older homes. When people tear down a house and build a new one or renovate an existing home, it tells me there’s loyalty here. Multiple generations have lived in this neighborhood,” says Dave LoSavio, a Realtor with Mark Allen Realty. Townhouses range from $240,000 to $340,000, with three bedrooms and, at most, 1,500 square feet. Condos that are part of the Washington Courte subdivision have a monthly HOA fee of around $400 that covers lawn care, a pool and snow removal. Sale prices are from $250,000 to $350,000.

Choice of Metra stations
There’s no Metra station in Niles - however, living in the northern part of the village means it's only a few miles from the Morton Grove Metra station or the Dee Road station in Park Ridge, where the rail line leads to downtown Chicago in about 35 minutes. There are plenty of sidewalks in the neighborhood that would allow walking to a major street like Milwaukee Avenue or Washington Road to catch the Pace bus or the Niles Free Bus, which stops at shopping centers and large public buildings. The Pace bus line operates the Pulse line that runs on Milwaukee Avenue. It's an express route that travels 6 miles between the Golf Mill Shopping Center and the Jefferson Park Transit Center in Chicago. For medical emergencies, the nearest hospital is about 2.5 miles south at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital.
