About Wheeling

Wheeling is mostly in Cook County, with a small part in Lake County. Milwaukee Avenue runs through the middle of the village and is known for its long run of restaurants. Chicago Executive Airport, formerly Palwaukee, sits on the south side and is run jointly with Prospect Heights.

Elementary students attend Wheeling Community Consolidated School District 21, and high school students attend District 214, which includes Wheeling High School. The Wheeling Metra station is on the North Central Service, which runs on weekdays only. Housing is a broad mix of townhomes, condominiums and single-family houses.

Selling in Wheeling

Wheeling often wins buyers who were priced out of the towns around it. That means your competition is as much a townhouse in Buffalo Grove or Arlington Heights as the one down the street, and pricing has to account for both.

Buying in Wheeling

If you plan to commute by train, check the schedule before you count on it: the North Central Service runs weekdays only. Near the airport, spend some time at the house at different hours before you commit.
