Everyone loves to raise their kids in the near western suburbs of Chicago for many obvious reasons. The public schools are excellent. There are great private schools as well. Transportation to downtown Chicago (by car or rail) is fantastic as is access to O’Hare International Airport and Midway Airport. The tiny villages offer the convenience of "walk to" everything.

The challenge of living here is that once the kids are gone and you do not need a large family-sized house, where do you go? This questions gets particularly complex if you mandate that you want a first floor master suite.

A great option is the Commonwealth neighborhood of Western Springs. Commonwealth offers one and two story new and nearly new attached homes which feel like single family detached residences. Clearly, the most popular homes are the ones with first floor master bedrooms.

For example, take 5314 Commonwealth in Western Springs. It "walks" like a ranch house as the majority of the living space is on the first floor including the master bedroom. However, it has two second floor bedrooms, a loft and a bathroom. The luxuriously basement ha been finished to the same quality as the rest of the house. The beauty is that the residents can live on the first floor for everyday living and use the second floor and finished lower level as they see fit. Theres really nothing else like it.It’s price has just been reduced to $599,900, by the way

Interested? Just call me at 630-468-2505 or e-mail Bryan@BryanBomba. I’m happy to help.
