Deerfield, Illinois Real Estate

I was selling real estate in Chicago when I made the decision to move to nearby Deerfield. My career was going well, but the Chicago lifestyle can tend to be a bit hectic, especially for children. I have three, my oldest girl just turned fifteen, my son is ten, and my little one is just six. Deerfield is a charming town, with plenty of gorgeous real estate. The market is strong there, so I would have no problems getting a job or finding a house. I was ready to settle down somewhere that was quiet, clean and safe, but at the same time showed promise.

My main concern with Deerfield was the school system. I didn’t know very much about it, and I wanted to make sure it was above average. In Chicago, my youngest two were in private school, and my oldest was in public school against my wishes but at her insistence. I wanted to make sure that Deerfield offered the same high quality education that is available in a larger city.

Before I purchased my Deerfield home I did a little digging and I was pleasantly surprised at my findings. I was able to find a Montessori school for my youngest, which is where she was enrolled in Chicago. For my boy, I found a public school that was up to par and was close to our home. I was a bit worried about keeping my oldest in public school until I learned that Deerfield’s high schools are high quality. I enrolled her at Deerfield High School; which has a 99 percent graduation rate and is rated among the top 1000 schools in the nation.

I am very happy with the choice I made. The kids love their schools and I love my Deerfield property, which I got a marvelous deal on.
