About Libertyville

Libertyville's downtown runs along Milwaukee Avenue, with shops, restaurants, Cook Park and a Thursday farmers market on Church Street in season. The main Metra station on the Milwaukee District North line is at the north edge of downtown, and the Prairie Crossing station near Grayslake serves both that line and the North Central Service.

Most of the village is served by elementary District 70 and Libertyville High School in District 128. South of Golf Road, students attend Hawthorn District 73 and may attend Vernon Hills High School; homes along Buckley Road fall into Oak Grove District 68. Housing ranges from older homes near downtown to later subdivisions.

Selling in Libertyville

People choose Libertyville for downtown. If you can walk to Milwaukee Avenue or the train, lead with it, with photos and a real walking time. Further out, the listing should sell the schools and the lot instead.

Buying in Libertyville

School district lines split the village three ways. Check the address against District 70, 73 and 68 before you get attached to a house, and confirm the high school too.
