This is misleading. The North Shore has seen a dramatic decrease in average sales price, but that is most likely due to the absence of very high-end sales rather than big declines on individual properties (except maybe the super high-end). Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to measure price changes on existing homes, so the papers tend to look at average sales data which can be greatly skewed by heavy amounts of new construction or an unusually high (or low) amount of activity in one sector such as the very high end.

Glenview as a whole has experienced sharper price declines than Winnetka and all of the other communities directly along the lakefront, but Eastern Glenview has remained very stable when compared to those same communities. East Glenview has the same level of construction as Wilmette, Winnetka, Northfield, etc.

Of course the trailer park is in "east Glenview". The part of Glenview in the New Trier district is mainly unincorporated Glenview, Icky houses by the forest preserves stinking of horse manure and several licenced boarding kennels./family homes. Its still zoned for farming. Servies are provided by cook county not the city of Glenview. Great if you like that sort of thing. Nasty of you don't.

You have never even defined what you mean by "East Glenview". What are the boundries?

[US-Traveller]

East Glenview is generally considered everything in Glenview east of Waukegan Road. The New Trier Township portion of Glenview, is actually incorporated, and is bounded by Harms Road on the west, Lake Avenue on the north, and Old Orchard Road on the south.

There is a farm on Wagner Road and Lake Avenue in the Glen Oak Acres subdivision, but it doesn't smell and it is owned and operated by the Village of Glenview. I don't know of any other farms or dog kennels. I love to walk and bike around Harms Woods and I have never experienced a smell. People are allowed to keep horses in Glenview if they meet a certain acreage requirements. I know Helen Brach had a large home with horses in East Glenview.

The trailer park in East Glenview is actually located west of Waukegan Road, my mistake. It is clean and is just full of retirees.

East Glenview is obviously not "icky" if people are willing to pay millions of dollars for homes there.

I said that I thought the circles was a nice neighborhood, though I think "some" other parts of Glenview are not.

Here is the dog kennel we found too "rural" for our pets. Its on Wagner. You must not spend much time in Glenview. Some parts of it are nice. The circles are very nice. Some parts are boring, and some parts of it (the trailer homes and the rural areas) are in my opinion "nasty". You are welcome to your own opinions.

I actually work in Glenview. I have many friends in Glenview. My colleague lives in the Circles. That are around Tanglewood Kennel is not "nasty". I don't consider anywhere where people are paying multi-millions for homes "nasty".

Only a miniscule number of homes in Glenview sell for 2M+, and if the same homes were in Glencoe or Wilmette or Winnetka they would go for far more. None of those homes are near kennels or trailer homes.

I would not under any circumstances want to live near a trailer park or a kennel. No matter how nice the trailer people or well groomed the dogs. I wouldn't want to live near a tatoo parlor either.

Even Carriage Hill in Glenview (which is a wonderful kennel) has had ongoing battles with Valley Lo ever since they built townhouses near the kennel, Arf! Arf! I'd never move there either(even though its darling) because the noise would drive me crazy.

Speaking of Carriage Hill, my dog got Kennel Cough the last two times he was there, so we board him at Glencoe Animal Hospital in Northbrook.

I know someone else whose dog caught it too (last year over spring break). But it could really happen at any kennel, and the owners are so wonderful to the dogs, that I still use them.

How do you like your new kennel?
