Outside the hustle and bustle

With thriving commercial and business centers, entertainment venues, major highway access, and one of the largest populations in the western Chicago suburbs, the village of Schaumburg is a busy place. What sets South Schaumburg apart is how solidly residential it is. “The South Schaumburg neighborhood is outside the hustle and bustle of the commercial district,” says Realtor and managing broker Mary Myzia with Re/Max Suburban. Myzia has sold real estate in the area for 40 years and is one of its top sellers. “South Schaumburg is the quiet part of town,” Myzia says, “and very walkable.” Schools, parks, retail spaces and residences are all within arm’s reach.

South Schaumburg was once known for growing crops but now a beautiful place to call home.

Homes for families and more

Most homes in South Schaumburg are three- and four-bedroom ranch-style houses, split-levels and bi-levels with comfortable backyards that sell for between $300,000 and $700,000. “The neighborhood is a big family place,” says Vanessa Carlson, broker-owner of iRealty Flat Fee Brokerage, who’s sold in the area since 2006. “It’s not a nightlife type of place.” The homes' size and the neighborhood's suburban feel are kid-friendly, with few cars parked on the street and sidewalks lining every roadway. Two- and three-bedroom townhouses are also available for $275,000 to $500,000, and smaller condominiums and ranch quad homes, built as four units, sell for between $170,000 to $270,000. Contemporary new home constructions can list for as high as $1.4 million.
