[quote=Anonymous]Haven't you heard? No one on the North Shore is wealthy. https://www.chicagomag.com/city-life/october-2019/theres-no-wrong-side-of-the-tracks-on-the-north-shore/ Honestly though. You are looking for upscale restaurants and shopping, top athletics but with no competitiveness or materialism? Seems incompatible. There are certainly down-to-earth neighborhoods and relatively modest homes in both Highland Park and Wilmette, but your kids will be going to school with kids who are uber-wealthy and have all the things. Evanston is your best bet for socioeconomic and racial/ethnic diversity on the North Shore. To be sure there are wealthy people here too, but the culture of materialism is somewhat diluted as there are plenty of UMC, MC and low income families in the mix. And as pp stated, towns/villages in the western suburbs may also be more down to earth, though plenty of those families there have nice cars, expensive vacations, designer clothes and money to burn. For high schools with top athletics you'd want to look at Glenbrook North, Glenbrook South, and Stevenson serving neighborhoods like Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield, etc. Parents have tons of money to spend on expensive clubs, private lessons with coaches, same as DC, which may be in part why sports teams are top notch.[/quote]
