Many people I speak with from other areas of the country, or even overseas, have asked what I find so attractive about the Chicago area that I couldn't even imagine living elsewhere. Being born and raised in Oak Park, I thought at first that it may just be familiarity; the comfort that comes from continuity of places and faces. I even married a man from Oak Park, whose family has lived here for almost 100 years, so our roots are pretty deep! Shortly after our first child was born, my husband had an opportunity for a job transfer to California and asked my opinion. Sounds like an adventure, I said, and so off we went. Of course its always a thrill to discover a new area as a resident. So much to see and do with recreation, food, neighbors and culture. And then there were the nice 70 winters Somehow though, there was no sense of permanence. Things moved quickly and even our new friends came and went, moving on to other areas. The landscape was under constant development, with new homes, stores and roads erupting, seemingly overnight. I soon realized what I really missed about the Midwest and especially the Oak Park area a true sense of place. A history of evolution, not revolution. A pride in maintaining these beautiful, historic homes instead of abandoning them for the next trendy new development in the boonies. The preservation of local and ethnic traditions, festivals and community. People who generally build and nurture relationships over time and become friends you can trust will be there in a pinch. And that legendary Midwest work ethic that isnt forgotten when the surfs up.Of course, I'm certain there are other great places to live, (even in California!) but if youre from this area, Im sure you can relate. And if youre contemplating a move here, I know you will quickly learn what I have discovered a home is more than a space. And a community is more than a collection of businesses or a string of strip malls. Its about people. I dont think I could have chosen a more rewarding career than real estate, as this enables me to share my passion for helping others find this same sense of place. For this reason, I am always very excited to introduce newcomers to this area and help them not just to find a home, but to discover a neighborhood, and a community where they can build lasting friendships and a comfortable new life.~As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here.
