About the Northshore Area

The Northshore region includes Deerfield, Evanston, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Wilmette, and Winnetka — a collection of affluent, lakefront suburbs north of Chicago. These communities share a distinctive blend of prestige, strong local economies, and educated populations. 

All eight areas benefit from low vacancy, strong tenant demand, excellent schools, and proximity to Lake Michigan, which make them highly attractive to investors and tenants.

Deerfield is a major commercial hub with corporate campuses — Walgreens, Baxter Healthcare, Fortune Brands — and one of the highest median household incomes in Illinois.

Evanston thrives as a cultural and commercial center anchored by Northwestern University, with a busy downtown that supports 300+ businesses and a robust mix of office, retail, medical, and hospitality services.

Highland Park stands out for its medical offices, corporate headquarters, and arts scene—it's home to the Ravinia Festival and carries a median household income well above $150,000. Our Highland Park property management services are designed to support these assets with consistent oversight and long-term strategy.

Lake Forest mirrors the Northshore’s overall market profile: tight commercial availability, upscale national and local tenants, and a well-educated consumer base. We offer tailored property management that Lake Forest owners can trust to protect their investments and attract the right tenants.

Northbrook combines substantial office and retail space with major firms like Allstate, UL, and Crate & Barrel, and includes Northbrook Court Mall, a regional retail anchor undergoing a major redevelopment.
