Bucolic, quality living in DuPage County
“If you blink while driving, you’ll miss Medinah. We are like a unicorn tucked between Bloomingdale, Roselle and Itasca,” says Jessica Garry, a Realtor at Garry Real Estate who grew up in Medinah and currently services DuPage County. “Since Medinah is an unincorporated community, we have low taxes, custom homes on oversized lots, and we get the luxury of relaxed living, except we are only 27 miles away from Chicago.” Medinah is often known for being home to the Medinah Country Club, which is a prestigious private club with famous members such as Michael Jordan, and has hosted some of the most acclaimed golfing events. The rest of the community is comprised of picturesque homes that dot the idyllic, storybook setting with a harmonious blend of undulating greens, top-performing schools and active, long-term residents who are passionate about preserving Medinah’s rural, small-town character. “People have shut down multimillion-dollar offers from the factories that wanted to buy up Medinah’s land,” Garry says. “We have neighbors who have chicken coops in their backyards, RVs, trailers and boats parked out front, and there are people who convert smaller ranch homes to larger two-stories. You can basically do anything with your land here because Medinah is unincorporated, and we want to keep Medinah the way it is, which is unique.”
Roughly 2,500 residents call Medinah home.
Residents are active in preserving Medinah's quaint character, even through a booming expansion.

Pictorial homes in Medinah
“The houses here go super fast as inventory is really low. There are about 800 houses total in Medinah, so it’s pretty slim picking,” Garry says. Most single-family properties are priced between $350,000 and $700,000, with estate homes fetching around $1 million. Primarily built in the latter half of the 20th century, Medinah properties include split-levels, single-story ranches and raised ranch styles around 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. Larger picturesque Tudor Revivals, stately Colonial Revivals, New Traditionals and sprawling ranch styles are often over 4,000 square feet with horseshoe driveways and acre-sized lots. Brickwork exteriors are common, and landscapes are thoughtfully maintained with mature trees and shrubs. “There is only one more lot available to build on in all of Medinah. Home prices here continue to go up, and the fact that there’s no more land left makes Medinah even more valuable,” Garry adds. “Plus, people who live here do not leave.”
