“Victoria was recommended by a family member. I lived out of state and needed someone I could trust. I viewed some homes while in town but eventually bought a house after a video walk through. I had confidenance in Victoria that she knew what I was looking for and would not let me make the wrong decision. I would recommend Victoria.”

DeKalb offers residents a welcoming community, strong schools, a thriving downtown, abundant parks and recreation, and easy access to culture, dining, and outdoor activities.
DeKalb pairs college-town energy with deep agricultural roots, creating a community that feels innovative and grounded at once. Downtown streets hum with live music and marquee lights from the restored art deco Egyptian Theatre, while the stately Ellwood House Museum tells the story of barbed-wire ingenuity that put the city on the map. Seasonal traditions, including the late-summer DeKalb Corn Fest, fill the calendar with parades, concerts, and family activities. Locally owned cafés, brewpubs, and eateries cluster along Lincoln Highway, and a growing arts scene adds color to everyday life.
Education is a standout, anchored by Northern Illinois University, which powers research, brings Division I athletics, and offers cultural programming from lectures to performances. Families appreciate strong K–12 options in DeKalb CUSD 428, and lifelong learners make frequent use of the resources and events at the DeKalb Public Library. Huskie pride runs deep on game days at Huskie Stadium, where the community rallies under the lights.
Outdoors, the DeKalb Park District maintains trails, playgrounds, and athletic fields, from Hopkins Park’s splash of green to quiet riverfront paths. With swift access to I‑88, commuting and weekend getaways are simple, yet home feels close-knit, affordable, and full of momentum.
