 Affectionately called “the village of friendly living,” Northbrook in Cook County is one of the more desirable and affluent communities within the greater Chicago area. During the 1950s, careful zoning attracted light industry that provides a broad tax base. Outstanding school districts are crowned by the advantage of Glenbrook North High School—one of the nation's finest and most impressively equipped. With nearly 400 acres of parkland, Northbrook provides abundant facilities and opportunities for recreation including golf, tennis, swimming, team sports, and ice skating. Residents can shop in the quaint downtown area with its fine shops and restaurants or at Northbrook Court, one of the premier malls in Chicagoland. Many of Chicagoland’s most popular attractions are within a few minutes of Northbrook including the Chicago Botanic Garden, the dazzling Ravinia Music Festival, and Six Flags Great America. Commuters rely on the Tri-State Tollway (I-294), the Edens Expressway (I-94), and Metra’s Milwaukee North Line to reach the Loop. Bus service is also available.

Cosmetic Improvements >Brighter is Better
Sometimes a real estate agent will walk into a home that is basically attractive, yet communicates the feeling that something is lacking. Then the agent notices that all of the drapes are closed, interior lights are off and there is a lot of overgrown shrubbery blocking the sunlight that might otherwise pour through the windows.
A dark house is not as appealing to most buyers as one that is flooded with light. As a part of your preparations to market your home, try to maximize the light in your home. Make sure that all the windows are clean and the drapes are open when the house is being shown. A fresh coat of light paint can do a lot to brighten up the interior. If your house has very dark paneling, and you do not wish to repaint the walls, you may want to consider adding additional lamps. Your real estate agent may be able to provide other simple and cost-effective ideas about how to maximize your home's appeal.
