Neighborhood — Northfield, a small community of just 5,500 residents, offers homeowners unusually large lot sizes, access to top-rated schools and proximity to numerous corporate headquarters. The town is ideally located near commuter trains, shopping, Interstates 94 and 294 and O’Hare International Airport. The village is served by nationally recognized New Trier High School, while the local grammar and middle schools are also highly regarded.
Housing — Northfield is known for its distinctly residential character defined by sprawling ranch homes and European-inspired mansions on oversized lots. Spacious yards and meticulously maintained gardens are a highly coveted North Shore amenity. Those seeking maintenance-free living will find condominiums in quiet locales. The village is experiencing growth through new construction, but its tranquil and welcoming atmosphere remains.
Lifestyle — Northfield offers convenient access to Chicago while maintaining its rural charm. Excellent schools, shopping and dining options, weekend farmers’ markets, verdant forest preserves, bicycle paths, jogging and hiking trails, and bridle paths are just a few of the reasons to call Northfield home.
