I frankly don’t know whether Sunset Village, which bills itself as “Glenview’s finest manufactured home community,” is in Northfield or Glenview or in an unincorporated area of Cook County. It’s a question that isn’t easily answered online.
I wrote about listings for sale at Sunset Village yesterday at a site we author for the Tribune. The MLS listings state the property addresses as Glenview, and the location as unincorporated Cook County
I added an addendum to my post after receiving an e-mail from a credible source stating that Sunset Village was incorporated into Glenview years ago, which I can’t verify online, but has a Northfield address, which turns out to be accurate.
Errors, some of them very consequential, are common in MLS listings.
The takeaway: when you’re buying a home, don’t rely on any information in a real estate listing. Don’t trust. Verify.
I’ve lived in Sunset Village for two years, and I don’t know which town it’s in. I have a Northfield mailing address, but I can vote for the Glenview village president, Glenview city council, Glenview Library Board, and Glenview Park District Board.
Phil,
What’s the status of the water issues? How do you like living at Sunset Village?
The last time we had a water problem was on Jan. 12. The water was turned off, for a few hours, because of a break, in a pipe, from the well.
