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.
