About Riverwoods
Riverwoods is a village of about 3,800 people in Lake County, with homes set on wooded lots. It borders the Edward L. Ryerson Conservation Area, 565 acres of Lake County Forest Preserve along the Des Plaines River.
Many of the homes are mid-century, including more than 40 by the prairie modernist architect Edward Humrich. Most of the village is in Deerfield District 109 and Township High School District 113; some areas fall into District 103 or Bannockburn District 106, and some attend Stevenson High School.
Selling in Riverwoods
A mid-century house on a wooded lot sells to a specific buyer, and that buyer is often looking for exactly what an average buyer would call dated. Marketing should show the architecture and the land honestly, and find the people who want both.
Buying in Riverwoods
Check the school district for the specific address; it is not the same across the village. On wooded lots, look closely at trees near the house, drainage and the condition of any well or septic system, and get those inspected.
