The charming North Shore community of Wilmette in Cook County offers quiet neighborhood streets lined by stately old trees and hundreds of acres of lush parkland. Among the recreational amenities are a sandy beach, an 18-hole golf course, sports fields, an ice skating rink, multi-purpose trails, and swimming pools. Many special programs are provided in the elementary school districts, while teens attend New Trier High School in Winnetka. Residents make their way to the Loop via the Edens Expressway (I-94), the Metra’s Chicago & Northwestern NW Line and CTA trains. Estate-size homes that include custom-built Tudors, Victorians, and colonials dot the heavily wooded landscape. Two-stories, ranches and bungalows are also available for a pleasing medley of architectural styles and residential settings. The area popularly referred to as “no man’s land” on Wilmette’s lakeshore includes luxurious multi-story condominiums and cooperative apartments.
