About Buffalo Grove
Buffalo Grove sits across the Lake and Cook county line. Roughly three quarters of the village is in Lake County; the southern part is in Cook. Much of it was built from the 1950s on, starting with modest single-family houses and followed by larger subdivisions, townhome communities and condominiums.
The county line matters for schools. High school students on the Lake County side attend Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire; on the Cook County side they attend Buffalo Grove High School in District 214. Elementary districts include 21, 96, 102 and 103. The Buffalo Grove Metra station is on the North Central Service, and the village has two golf courses and a large park district.
Selling in Buffalo Grove
A buyer looking here has usually already decided between Stevenson and District 214, so the listing has to answer that in the first line. For condos and townhomes, have the association documents ready early. Buyers compare monthly assessments across complexes as closely as they compare prices.
Buying in Buffalo Grove
Two houses on either side of Lake Cook Road can sit in different counties, tax systems and school districts. Check the exact address, and compare property tax bills, not just list prices.
