IMO, North Shore suburbs will always hold a greater amount of prestige than Lake Country or Western Suburbs. Affluent people in the North Shore are very different than their wealthy counter parts in the western suburbs..maybe it has to do with old money versus new? I do not believe anything on the South Side, Southwest Side to be prestigious...however....there are some extreme pockets of wealth in Franklin and Greendale, but again,
the people there are another story...again, just my opinion.
