Suburban lifestyle in East Schaumburg
Many homes in East Schaumburg sell for between $250,000 and $400,000, though a large number sell for up to $500,000 and a few upwards of $1 million are located within the neighborhood as well. Townhouses, like multi-level brick units, are also popular in the area, as are single-family homes. “Those areas were established in the 1960s and into the late 1970s, while the townhouses were mostly built in the 1990s” Leonard says. “Homeowners have done a nice job of modernizing them.” Along East Schaumburg’s streets, residents can find properties with Craftsman, colonial and modern designs along with pools, manicured lawns, garages and overall classic suburban flair throughout.Highly-regarded schooling for students
Michael Collins Elementary School, which derives its name from the Apollo 11 command module’s pilot on the 1969 moon mission, is where students can find education from kindergarten through sixth grade. Given an A-minus from Niche, it ranks highly in terms of its teaching staff throughout the state. Margaret Mead Junior High School is enrollment’s next stop for grades seven and eight, ranked in the top 100 middle schools in Illinois and receiving an A from Niche. Grade-school learning concludes at James B. Conant High School, which gets an A-plus and is listed by Niche as one of the top 20 best public high schools statewide. The home of the Cougars offers numerous organizations with focuses such as playing guitar, investigating the paranormal and more.Large nature preserves and refuges nearby
Busse Woods is one of the region’s most popular outlets when it comes to getting outside. The officially-named Ned Brown Forest Preserve spans nearly 4,000 acres to the east of East Schaumburg. It has amenities for taking walks, biking and more beneath the canopy of foliage, and visitors are bound to see some wildlife while enjoying its scenery. The Vera Meineke Nature Center at Spring Valley is another popular destination, which sprawls for more than 100 acres, encompassing marshes and fields, and the nature center itself has educational exhibits. On the same property, the Heritage Farm pays homage to the area’s past, and the Bison’s Bluff Nature Playground is also nearby.Restaurants both local and national
“There’s a ton of restaurants,” Leonard says. “There’s chains like Ruth’s Chris and Seasons 52, regional establishments like Weber Grill and also some little cafes.” Some of the other eateries in the area include Kids Art & Café on Plum Grove Road, which doubles as a coffee shop and ice cream parlor with an indoor playground, and New Delhi Restaurant of India on Meacham Road with its authentic fare and atmosphere. Regional stop Lalo’s Mexican Restaurant also has a location in the southwestern portion of the East Schaumburg neighborhood.A landmark mall with stores, restaurants and more
For most shopping necessities, look no further than Woodfield Mall. Located right across Interstate 72 from Schaumburg and with more than 200 outlets for dining, shopping, entertainment and more, Woodfield is the largest mall in the entire state of Illinois. “It’s got some incredible department stores, so everyone goes there,” Leonard says. “The mall has so many things, from Nordstrom to Peppa Pig World of Play to Build-a-Bear. It’s for anyone and everyone and it’s a melting pot of people.” From browsing at Foot Locker and Forever 21, to eating at chains like Subway, Chipotle and Burger King, to finding entertainment products at the LEGO Store or GameStop, it’s a one-stop-shop where an entire day could be spent.Getting around northeastern Illinois
East Schaumburg residents can hop on Route 72, which comprises the northern side of the neighborhood and runs through Busse Woods, and the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway runs just north of the preserve. “It’s one of the best locations because you’re central to many tollways, so it’s convenient,” Leonard says. Schaumburg Road slices through the center of the neighborhood, while Interstate 290 makes up the eastern side and runs right into downtown Chicago, which is just under an hour to the east.
