Romona School Real Estate Statistics
The west part of town is perhaps the North Shore’s hidden gem – not getting nearly the attention it deserves. Most know that tremendous value is found on this side of town but residents don’t give up a thing location-wise. With Wilmette’s Middle School and Junior High both located within Romona School boundaries, lucky families who choose to move west not only get more for their money but often get a “walk to school” location for K-8! Additionally, the incredible Centennial Outdoor Pool complex, skating center and tennis center (which are hubs for gathering) are all within Romona’s boundaries, as are the Community Playfields where soccer, lacrosse and a myriad of activities take place. Living in Romona district provides excellent recreation options and an easy going lifestyle. Last, easy access to the highway can shave at least 10 minutes off of your commute to the city by car. Of course, easy access to Old Orchard mall is another nice benefit. Homes east of Skokie command a much higher price with locations near the schools and playfields commanding the highest prices.
