Deerfield Real Estate and Entertainment Guide
The village of Deerfield is another North Shore suburb of Chicago where new home buyers often search for real estate. Situated mostly in Lake County with a portion in Cook County, Deerfield covers about seven square miles and is bordered by Lake Forest, Bannockburn, Northbrook, Highland Park and Riverwoods.
Many who own Chicago or North Shore real estate commute (or "reverse-commute") to Deerfield, since it is known as a corporate center. The village is the home to many corporate headquarters like Walgreens, Baxter Healthcare and, at one point, Sara Lee. Deerfield real estate also borders the campus of Trinity International University, an evangelical college with about 3,000 students.
In 2007, Deerfield was ranked #3 on Business Week's list of top 50 best places to raise children. For potential home buyers looking to settle down and start a family, Deerfield homes for sale should definitely be considered for purchase.
