An improving economy, job growth, and low mortgage interest rates are fueling a home sales boom in Glenview, Illinois and the entire North Shore of the Chicago metropolitan area. Another factor is the popularity of the North Shore’s premier community, The Glen, which has 1,106 private residences. Not only are homes in The Glen popular, but the many restaurants and shops in Glen Town Center attract buyers to homes in greater Glenview. The outstanding schools serving Glen families (Westbrook Elementary, Attea Middle, and Glenbrook South High) also bring in many buyers.
