About Northbrook

Northbrook is made up largely of established neighborhoods with mature trees and larger lots, with a small downtown around its Metra station on the Milwaukee District North line.

High school students attend Glenbrook North in District 225; elementary schools come from several districts, including 27, 28, 30 and 31. Housing runs from ranches and split-levels to colonials and newer construction.

Selling in Northbrook

Many Northbrook buyers are moving up from a smaller home or in from the city, and they compare houses neighborhood by neighborhood. Updates that matter to them, like kitchens, baths and mechanicals, should be clear in the listing, with dates.

Buying in Northbrook

Northbrook's elementary district boundaries don't follow subdivision names. Confirm the district for the address, and ask about the age of the roof and mechanicals in older homes.
