A drive through the CAGE, in East Wilmette

Wilmette’s historic CAGE neighborhood takes its name from four streets: Chestnut, Ashland, Greenwood and Elmwood Avenues.

The CAGE has stately old homes on lots with deep setbacks, lush landscaping and a dense tree canopy, all set on brick streets.

For my money, I’d take a resale in the CAGE over new construction in West Wilmette any day, even though I’d be buying a smaller home for the price.

In this third part of a four-part series, we traverse Greenwood Avenue.

See more of the CAGE at our YouTube YoNorthShore playlist.

And, please spare us the “gilded cage” comments.
