Condos have a high profile in Deerfield, a community in Chicago’s northern suburbs which is also known as a home for Fortune 500 corporations and for a range of other assets from a vital downtown district to the caliber of its schools. With such highly regarded companies as Walgreens, Baxter Healthcare, and Takeda Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in this north suburban village, it is not surprising that one reason condo dwellers are drawn to Deerfield is jobs.
Deerfield was first settled in the 1830s when Jacob Caldwell made his way here. Its location near the DesPlaines, Fox and Chicago Rivers aided its early development because farmers sought waterways to ship their goods to Chicago. Ease of transportation continues as a reason today for condo buyers to look for homes in Deerfield.
The community is served by a commuter rail service that allows commuters to be in Chicago’s Loop in a half an hour. It is just accessible by car. The Edens Expressway, which serves the city of Chicago and its northern suburbs, runs next to Deerfield. In fact, one of the village’s greatest spurts of growth occurred following the completion in 1959 of the construction of the expressway.
Today, condo buyers in Deerfield appreciate the convenience of in-town living at new construction condo buildings. These feature such elements as fireplaces, gleaming wood floors, 42-inch cherry cabinets, in-unit washers and dryers and attached heated garages. Of course, a location that is within walking distance of the train station, shops and restaurants in the heart of downtown Deerfield is another attraction for condo buyers who seek a hassle-free lifestyle.
Thanks to its suburban location, condo dwellers can also find open spaces and pretty vistas to savor in Deerfield. Elegant condominiums that make the most of these spaces are here in good measure. They often feature unique floor plans that are brightened by natural light and offer dramatic views of the lakes and lush parklands. Private balconies or terraces provide places to relax or entertain.
Deerfield is a vibrant community that continues to find ways to make life even better for its residents. An example is the Deerfield Golf Club and Learning Center that offers one of the finest 18-hole courses in the Chicagoland area. It was designed by famed golf course designer Edward Lawrence Packard and recently was renovated.
Deerfield’s emphasis on building a close-knit community is seen in the range of activities and events it offers designed to appeal to families, singles and even to older couples whose young ones have flown the nest. The village’s celebrates Holiday on the Plaza in December and Deerfield Family Days in July. From spring through fall, the Plaza Pleasures Farmers Market provides fresh produce, flowers and home-baked goods that are sure to make mouths water.
Jobs at high-profile corporations are one sign of Deerfield’s stability as is the village’s emphasis on continuing to grow and evolve. Both of these are elements that combine to make this village a place where condo owners and investors can feel certain that their condominiums will continue to grow in value.
