Diverse homebuying options make for an attractive housing landscape

Plum Grove Village is primarily a residential pocket proudly displaying a broad range of architectural styles. "As prospective homebuyers explore Palatine, they discover a diverse array of housing options," says Funteas. "The community caters to a wide spectrum of housing budgets, making it a compelling choice for homebuyers. Palatine boasts several new condos, townhouses and rowhouses, providing a varied and attractive housing landscape."

The cozy tree-lined streets mostly display midsize colonials and split-level homes on single lots; however, there are a few outliers such as stately homes on expansive lots. As mentioned by Funteas, homebuyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle can choose from condominiums and townhouses. Established homes with over 2,000 square feet cost $500,000 and up, while newer builds with over 2,000 square feet can reach up to $1 million. More modest-sized homes range from $350,000 to $700,000, while condos and townhouses start at $215,000 and list for as high as $500,000.

Plum Grove Reservoir Park offers scenic views and outdoor fun

With close to a dozen parks in the community, Plum Grove Reservoir Park stands out as the most scenic. Situated adjacent to Harper College, this green space gives residents a taste of nature with stunning sunset views over the tranquil water, which rests at the heart of the park. The park's paved trails encourage cycling and longboarding, or residents can fish along the reservoir shoreline. “Not only does this area have many parks, but there’s also a lot of golfing opportunities here too,” says Funteas. Minutes away are the Inverness Golf Club, the Highland Woods Golf Course and the Twin Lakes Golf Course & Recreation Area. Plum Grove Village is also conveniently located to the Busse Woods Nature Preserve and Busse Forest Elk Pasture, merely a 15-minute drive.

Palatine Street Fest leads the pack of annual events

“There’s live music and food at the Palatine Street Fest,” says Funteas. “It’s an annual outdoor event that takes place in August.” With food trucks and beer vendors, this anticipated celebration takes place at Towne Square in downtown Palatine and gives the ultimate concert experience. Rush the stage to secure a spot as local rock and 80s cover bands sing their signature tunes. In September, the square becomes a venue for another highly anticipated event, Oktoberfest. German music, as well as German craft beer and cuisines, are the highlight of the event.

The Metra and major thoroughfares gets residents to-and-fro

As U.S. Route 14 traces the town's northwestern edge and U.S. Route 62 meanders through its southern reaches, Plum Grove Village not only provides seamless commuting options but also quick links to neighboring towns like Arlington Heights and Inverness. These nearby gems beckon with vibrant nightlife and diverse shopping, adding an extra layer of excitement to the tapestry of Plum Grove Village living. “Also, the community is just 40 minutes from downtown Chicago,” says Nancy Funteas, Realtor with @properties. “It’s a Northwest suburb right outside of Chicago. It’s easy to take the Metra down there, which is huge for those looking to live outside of the city but remain relatively close by.”
