Chicago families are challenging the conventional wisdom that having children means moving to the suburbs, finding that city neighborhoods offer unique advantages for family life and child development.
• City children develop greater independence, street smarts, and social skills compared to their suburban counterparts
• Neighborhood parks function as community hubs, creating interconnected social networks across different areas of the city
• Chicago has more green space than any other American city, providing ample outdoor opportunities
• Multiple school options exist within city limits, both public and private
• The real estate market currently has approximately three offers per single-family home
• What matters most in winning offers isn't simply price but offering a seamless, stress-free transaction
• When shopping for a home, prioritize neighborhood trajectory and location over "shiny" new construction
• A property's future value depends more on its location and neighborhood dynamics than on its current amenities
• Working with experienced agents who understand neighborhood trends provides crucial market insights
• Chicago prices are appreciating at four times the national average due to limited inventory
Don't assume you need to leave the city when you have kids—give city living a chance and you might find you don't want to leave at all.
