About Highland Park
Highland Park sits on the lake with ravines, beaches including Rosewood Beach, and Ravinia, the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The Chicago Botanic Garden is just to the south in Glencoe.
The city has several stations on Metra's Union Pacific North line. Elementary schools are in North Shore School District 112; high school students attend Highland Park High School in District 113. The architecture runs from mid-century and modernist houses to traditional homes and lakefront estates.
Selling in Highland Park
Architecture is a selling point here, and a distinctive house finds its buyer faster when the marketing explains it: the architect, the materials, how the rooms work. Good photography and video earn their cost on these homes.
Buying in Highland Park
Homes near Ravinia see concert traffic on summer evenings, and ravine and lakefront lots can carry their own rules and inspections. Worth knowing before an offer rather than after.
