Updated 2022   Strawberry Hill in Glencoe, IL Strawberry Hill in Glencoe, IL is a subdivision that lies in the western side of Glencoe, abutting the beautiful Cook County Forest Preserves and the Skokie Lagoons. After the main part of Glencoe was developed, this side, which was then called the Skokie Marsh, was drained and built over.  Strawberry Hill compromises approximately 160 acres and was opened up for development after World War II. The driving force behind the architectural style here was Greta Lederer, who designed the newly popular bi- and tri-level homes that so dominate the area.  New homes were advertised for $15,000 at completion in the mid 1950s (I had a client who was selling on Sycamore and had a Chicago Tribune page from that time that had one of the ads.)  These home...

     Condos for Sale in Glencoe IL UPDATED 2022Condos in Glencoe are mostly found along the Green Bay Road corridor, with a few found elsewhere in town.  If you are looking to downsize, the availability here is not as extensive as Winnetka or Wilmette.  The units with the best location in Glencoe were built in 1998 in the 300 block of Park Avenue and are one of the few not built on Green Bay Road. These beautiful townhouses have three levels plus a basement and are just west of Vernon and within walking distance to shopping and the train.  These are also the most expensive, but with only four units, they rarely hit the market.  The most recent condo complex built in Glencoe was in 2003 and is located in the 900 block of Green Bay Road. There are ten units in this development with a larg...

There are a lot of wonderful things about living on the North Shore of Chicago, but one of the highlights is the Glencoe Grand Prix. The bicycle race has grown in stature and popularity since its humble beginnings in 2007 and now attracts professional-level riders from across the country. The Grand Prix was started as (and still is) a fundraising event for the Glencoe Educational Foundation, which benefits schools in Glencoe as well as Chicago public schools. But in six short years it has become THE event of the season. This year the races are on Saturday, June 2, beginning at 8:15 with the Category 5 race and culminating in the AT&T Pro/1 race at 5:30. A “block party” with live music will follow the final race. Along with several categories of amateur races and the professional event ...
