A northwest Chicago suburb with rural qualities
Forty miles northwest of downtown Chicago and outside the village of Palatine is the Baldwin neighborhood, which provides one of the last aspects of suburbia before more rural communities to the north and west. “Palatine isn’t a tiny town; it’s just a little more rural than Arlington Heights, which is more city-like,” says Judy Newton, a Realtor with HomeSmart Connect with nearly 20 years of real estate experience. The neighborhood is home to a restaurant that once was a hideout for a famous Chicago-area gangster.
