It’s no secret that great schools are a big draw for homebuyers—and nowhere is that more evident than in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, and other North Shore communities. Strong public school districts play a major role in driving up demand and, consequently, home values.
Why Schools Matter to Buyers
Buyers with school-age children often prioritize school rankings when deciding where to live. Homes within top-rated districts tend to sell faster and for more money. If you’re a seller, this demand can work in your favor—find out how much your home might be worth.
Home Value and Resale Stability
Even for buyers without kids, homes in top-tier school districts offer long-term investment security. These neighborhoods typically hold their value better, even in shifting markets.
