The Best Place on Earth

A lot of people ask me about living in a "good" neighborhood. Or where are the "good" schools?

As a Realtor, these are questions that I can't answer. First, because "good" is subjective.

What is good to me, may not be so good to you.

My wife, Susan, and I used to live in a new construction Grayslake subdivision. At the time, we liked that and thought that was "good". Then the kids went to college and we downsized to a smaller home, in an older neighborhood - and we think that is "good" (for us) now.

Our boys played lacrosse, so a school with a lacrosse program would have been "good" to us.

The second reason I cannot tell you what is "good" is because it would be considered a fair housing violation.

Only you can decide what makes an area "good" for you. So, take some time to think it over. Make a list and prioritize. All the information that you want is available on the Internet.

You make the best decision for you. And I'll help you buy your "best" home ever.
