We love Northfield for its small-town charm with a big personality. Just minutes from us in Winnetka, it has its own unique energy - tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and plenty of parks and trails that make it a joy to explore. Whether we’re running errands, grabbing coffee with friends, or taking a quiet walk, Northfield always feels welcoming and full of character.
One of the things that makes Northfield so special is how it also feeds into New Trier High School, which connects the community and gives it a sense of pride and tradition. The local parks, cozy cafés, and small downtown area make it easy to feel part of the neighborhood, while the family-friendly vibe creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone.
Homes here range from classic North Shore estates to thoughtfully updated residences, giving the village timeless appeal. Its combination of charm, character, and convenience makes it clear why so many people love living here.
For us, Northfield is more than just a place we visit; it’s a community we enjoy returning to. Its small-town feel, big personality.
