For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $335,000 in Cook County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $329,000 in February.

Evanston offers residents a vibrant, walkable community with top-notch education, rich cultural amenities, lakefront access, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride.
Evanston offers a distinct blend of lakefront living, historic neighborhoods, and academic energy that sets it apart from nearby Chicago and Skokie. Home to Northwestern University, the city feels both established and forward looking, with tree lined streets, classic architecture, and a locally focused culture that appeals to long time residents and new arrivals alike.
Daily life here often centers on community spaces.

“I had an outstanding experience working with Cinny Chui. What truly set her apart was her genuine care and consistent follow-up throughout the entire process. She didn't just treat me as a transaction; she took the time to understand my needs and was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. Her proactive communication meant I was never left wondering about the next step. Whether it was coordinating viewings, negotiating details, or handling paperwork, she was on top of everything and kept me regularly updated. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and supportive. I felt looked after from start to finish, and I couldn't have asked for a better agent. I highly recommend Cinny Chui to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring professional.”

“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”

The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless.

Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”

“Jo Ceglarek was recommended to us by a friend who lives in Jefferson Park. Our hope was to stay in the area but select a real estate agent with extensive knowledge of the area and public schools as we have a 2.5 year old. Her guidance and expertise were invaluable and made the process so smooth. Jo was quick and responsive to our needs and worked around our crazy work schedules. She made this whole process much more enjoyable. Thank you! Jo was wonderful to work with and patient when we had to bring our little one to a couple showings!”
