Known for its grand houses with meticulous landscaping, Winnetka in Cook County is dedicated to preserving an environmentally pristine atmosphere. Lacking any significant industry, the community has welcomed many local businesses and national retailers that cluster in three main shopping areas. Commuters use the Edens Expressway (I-94) to reach the Loop or rely on the Metra North Line for rail service. Local bus service is also available. With little land left for development, Winnetka is likely to remain exclusively residential. Many of the homes in this gracious residential community are magnificent mansions with a dozen rooms, butler’s quarters, and multiple fireplaces. The “Home Alone” house is located in Winnetka. The varied architectural styles include Tudors, colonials, Georgians, two-stories, and sprawling ranches for an attractive array of housing options in equally diverse settings. Numerous parks boast an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, indoor ice skating rink, swimming beaches, marinas, and multi-purpose trails.
