Variety of homes on decorated lawns
Mature trees separate the residential roads from the sidewalks that are broken up by driveways. Manicured lawns are decorated with bushes, trees and gardens and offer as much variety as the homes in the neighborhood. Early to mid-20th century properties, ranging from Colonial and Tudor Revivals to bungalows and farmhouses, sit among new traditional houses with Tudor, Queen Anne or colonial influences built between the 1990s and 2010s. Homebuyers can find a three-bedroom for between $575,000 and $715,000. Four-bedrooms typically fall between $775,000 and $850,000, although new and renovated builds can cost upward of $950,000. The Hill of Western Springs is a condominium complex that opened in the southwestern part of the neighborhood and offers two-bedroom units ranging from $675,000 to $850,000, depending on the square footage.
