real estate, according to Realtor.com. (News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal, also operates Realtor.com.) Glencoe’s 60022 ZIP Code median listing price is $3.26 million, surpassing the next priciest Midwestern ZIP Code—that of Kenilworth, Ill., about four miles southeast of Glencoe—by close to $1 million. Anchored by a buzzing downtown with local boutiques and restaurants, Glencoe has transformed into a village of its own, says luxury broker Jena Radnay of @properties.
“It’s a sleepy town that has found its own bang post-Covid," she says. Membership to have Skokie Country Club, founded in 1897, is known for its 18-hole golf course. Also in Glencoe is the Lake Shore Country Club, founded in 1908.
Architectural footnote Glencoe has the world’s third largest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work: There are 13 structures designed by the architect still standing in Glencoe today. Advice for the buyer “Glencoe is a tight market," says Radnay, noting that not a lot has come on the market in the last two years compared to nearby communities such as Winnetka or Wilmette. While Glencoe has a mix of architecture styles—from stone houses to Nantuckets—on large lots in areas with hills and windy roads, Radnay says one property type is particularly hot right now: Downsize ranches.
“Empty nesters who live in Glencoe want to stay in Glencoe forever," she says. On the market This house is on a Lake Michigan lakefront lot that offers an unusual amount of privacy. The property was built in 1970 but underwent a complete renovation in 2007.
The primary suite is on the main living level. There is also an infinity pool and hot tub overlooking the lake. Agent: Laura Rubin Dresner, Baird & Warner Gold Coast.
