School is selling point behind Kildeer single-family home development

We’ve gone all suburban this afternoon at Yo. Here’s another new project: Kildeer Estates, a collection of 110 single-family homes on a parcel at U. S. Route 22 and Quentin Road (no rendering available just yet). Apparently the selling point of this Dartmoor Homes community, which isn’t quite in the village of Kildeer, but close by, is its proximity to Stevenson High School, which has quite the reputation among young families. The houses have standard elevations but buyers can opt for “more peaks or higher-pitched roofs” says Ron Sova, Dartmoor’s vice president of sales and marketing. The houses have four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and two-car garages, Sova said. Larger homes also have a den that can be used as a media room or home office. Features include central air, formal dining rooms and nine-foot ceiling heights on the first floor and ceramic bathroom tiles. At press time, the homes were priced from the high-$500s to the high-$600s.

Yo’s truly is fascinated by the effect good schools have on real estate values. Another obvious example is the Bell School’s impact on home prices in St Ben’s. Anyone else got other good examples of home prices shooting up in Chicago because of proximity to a good school?
