Chicago's North Shore Real Estate


Chicago’s North Shore Communities Love the 4th of July!


Independence Day is only a couple weeks away, and many North Shore residents are starting to plan their festivities. While some prefer to remain in the comfort of their own North Shore home’s backyard and throw a barbecue, others can’t wait to get out to their North Shore community’s annual celebrations. Here’s what is going on this 4th of July across Chicago’s North Shore.

I’ve always loved how each community has its very own celebration. The communities on Chicago’s North Shore really have a close knit feel about them, encouraging togetherness of the residents. If this sounds like an atmosphere that appeals to you, please contact me for more North Shore real estate information. If you already live in the area but are considering purchasing a new home or selling your current, I would also be happy to hear from you. Have a safe and fun 4th of July!
