North Shore Suburbs and Chicago Community Information

Chicago’s North Shore and its suburbs is a great place to live and amazingly easy to get around. I’ve lived here practically my whole life.  Rather than give you a million links, I’ve provided the ones that answer many of the questions I’m asked.

If you want to look for North Shore homes for sale, I have provided search capability for the whole area with no registration necessary or better yet call or email me to make an appointment or ask me a question.

North Shore Suburbs and Chicago School Information

The 2 questions I am asked most frequently are:

  • How good are the schools?
  • How do I compare schools?

One measure of how good a school is can be the test scores. On the right hand side of the site you will find a link to Illinois School Report Cards which displays test scores and much more.

Below there is a map you can use to compare schools. It is set to open up in Evanston but you can use the search function to find information both locally and across the country.

If you need more information or have specific questions please don’t hesitate to give me a call or email me
