11:52 That is the HOME ALONE house in Winnetka! 😃

Most of these places are actually well over an hour from downtown Chicago as traffic is typically terrible

This video definitely got the wrong title 😂😅

In the same vein as Burr Ridge and Indian Head Park, nearby Willowbrook reportedly has lower taxes as well, subsidized by the numerous commercial properties in the community. Burr Ridge has many properties far in excess of the two million dollars mentioned in the video, a lot of sports and entertainment celebrities from the Chicago metro have made it their home.
On a side note, your engagement with commentors is exemplary, it's nice to see a channel where the owners go out of their way to promote viewer participation, smart move.

Thank you Ralphie and Ryan. My husband and I enjoy your content. I had to leave from North Shore of Winnetka and we love it here in the Indiana Dunes since it's less taxes and we can take the South Shore Line to Downtown Chicago. We would still visit Chicago to enjoy some good inner city people since he's from the Southside of Chicago. My twin sister and her husband move to Downers Grove. My best friend and her husband lives in the Indiana Dunes with me. My parents are moving from Winnetka soon.

Unfortunately, Cook County imitates state government in grossly mismanaging the tax revenue it receives.
Tax assessment bills are again late
Residents never know how much more their tax bills will be and cannot budget for the future.
Houses are increasingly owned by companies and are rented out rather than owned by residents.
The only constant is that massive tax increases caused by public "servant" retirement debt are on the horizon and residents are increasingly moving out of state to escape state corruption and high taxes.

Illinois properties pay taxes to the county/ state and it is not cheap. The taxes pay are based on the assessed property worth including size of the house and land.

Oak brook was always low but have spiked recently

I moved out of Illinois 30 years ago and would never go back my brother still lives in Oaklawn in a 1700 square foot bi level almost 40 years old on a 40 by 125 lot he pays 9500 taxes a year I wouldn't live in Oaklawn for free

@GrouchyMonk2025 11 months ago

Wow. I live in a two-bedroom condo in a ritzy, lush neighborhood (just five miles north of downtown) with a median home value of $1.3M, and I pay $507... a year. There is that pesky HOA fee of $145/month, though.

But there is no snow removal or any public amenities...since it's Phoenix, LOL. So if you can stand the filthy, blow-dryer-on- high-heat setting air, lack of sidewalks, and nothing free to do but walk around and dodge traffic, Phoenix just might be the Chicago suburb that's right for you.

Long Grove is known for it's large lots

My city touches Chicago and I payed $1560 in taxes this year. My taxes were $1350 when I bought the home 12 years ago. 3Bd 2 Ba home. In Indiana. Indiana taxes are not cheap either outside of a few cities. Indiana gets money on the back end. Expensive car registrations a year for newer cars. Low pay and nothing offered outside of that. Children under 18 get free health care in Illinois. You get alot of those taxes back on your income tax. You also get way more tax breaks than many states.
