Wife got a job in Chicago and we are thinking to move (eventually). Looking for excellent schools and house around 900k, pref newer const and 3 car garage. We are moving from n Virginia. I have heard north shore and hinsdale but I can’t believe how $$ these areas are. Are there others we should consider? Wife would have to take train downtown once things open up.

We live in the city. Getting a 3 car garage with $900K is very difficult. You’d have to send the kids to private.

If you are considering suburbs the west of the city ie Naperville is a good option. North of the city is also good with good houses and schools. You will find more diversity in Naperville then straight up north.

Crime in the city and property taxes are just crazy, so it might be worth living in the burbs if taking the train in is not problematic.

Oh and most important we are looking for a neighborhood with lots of kids, friendly neighbors etc.

Congrats! I’d suggest checking out the Chicago consulting bowl. There have been some similar questions posted in the past, or you could pose it again.
Not a direct answer but a bigger barrel of Chicago resources 😃

Ha that is a crazy list.

Look at elmhurst, Arlington heights

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
