Neighborhood community found in Evergreen Estates
While just a small square of the village of Niles, Evergreen Estates offers plenty of community engagement along its residential grid-oriented streets. The village’s library is on the southern side of the community, offering programs and classes for locals across Niles but within walking distance of homes here. With a couple of neighborhood parks in the neighborhood, residents have spaces to get outside and chit-chat with neighbors. “I have a friend whose grandmother lived in Niles for 60 years,” says broker Mary Lusk with Compass. “When she moved out, there were people that would come and knock on the door when we were cleaning out the house, saying they were sad to see her go. That’s the feeling you get when you’re in the community.”
Bungalows along Evergreen Estates' open streets
Bungalows and the occasional Cape Cod and ranch-style home line the wide streets in Evergreen Estates, with prices ranging between $275,000 and $550,000. Sidewalks run along both sides of the streets, so residents might see their neighbors out walking, whether heading to one of the neighborhood parks, walking back from the library or just walking the dog. People here get involved in their community, stopping to chat with neighbors or just waving hello. “If you had an estate sale, there are people who stop by because they want to see what the inside of the house looks like,” Lusk says.

Evergreen Estate's fire-engine-red playground

In the fall, the surrounding maples’ leaves almost match the vibrant playground. Residents can also walk over to the Niles-Maine District Library, located on the southern side of the neighborhood. The library offers programs throughout the month for kids, teens and adults, like bullet journaling clubs for teens and weekly kids’ storytimes in English, Spanish and Polish.

Watching the fireworks through coveted diffraction glasses
“Niles and Skokie together host a 4th of July parade and fireworks,” Lusks says. “They give away t-shirts and swag, like diffraction glasses, to make the fireworks pop. The first 2,500 get them, and people definitely get there early to get the glasses and shirts. People go crazy over them.” Celebrations also include an 80s tribute band that plays between the parade and the fireworks show. In the fall, Niles homeowners can enter the Halloween Home-Decorating Contest. Niles residents go around the Village to view the spooky décor before voting for the winners online.
