Glencoe is a classic North Shore community with tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, lakefront access, and a welcoming small-town vibe. We love visiting the Chicago Botanic Garden, downtown shops and cafés, and taking our family to Guild Hall whenever they’re in town.
Glencoe is one of those North Shore towns that immediately feels classic and welcoming. We love spending time here - the village borders our own so it’s just a short drive from our home in Winnetka, and it’s easy to see why so many people are drawn to this community. From quiet tree-lined streets to historic homes and easy lake access, Glencoe has a charm that feels timeless.
What makes Glencoe special for us is its balance of natural beauty and community life. We often spend weekends strolling through the Chicago Botanic Garden, wandering along the lakefront, or visiting downtown shops and cafés. And whenever family is in town, we always make a point to bring them to Guild Hall - it’s one of our favorite local spots, full of character, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly captures the Glencoe vibe.
The homes in Glencoe are stunning - a mix of historic estates, mid-century gems, and thoughtfully updated properties. Whether you’re drawn to classic character or modern updates, the neighborhoods here feel welcoming, spacious, and full of personality.
For us, Glencoe is more than a place to visit - it’s a part of our North Shore story. Its beauty, community, and sense of calm make it one of our favorite towns to spend time in, whether we’re exploring with friends, visiting clients, or just enjoying a quiet weekend.
