Search Mount Prospect Listings → Talk to a Local ExpertMount Prospect is one of Chicagoland's most beloved northwest suburbs — and it's home base for the Dawn Simmons Team. With a charming downtown, excellent schools, and quick access to O'Hare and the Metra, it's easy to see why families keep choosing Mount Prospect generation after generation.
Mount Prospect's real estate market stays consistently strong. Single-family homes typically range from the upper $200s to the upper $600s, with ranch homes and split-levels especially popular. The market tends to move quickly — well-priced homes often see multiple offers within days. The village's stable property values and low taxes relative to neighboring towns make it a smart long-term investment.
Downtown Mount Prospect has seen a real renaissance — new restaurants, boutiques, and the historic Randhurst Village shopping center keep things lively. Residents enjoy Melas Park, the Mount Prospect Golf Club, and an active park district with programs for all ages. The Metra Union Pacific Northwest Line puts you downtown Chicago in under an hour.
Mount Prospect offers excellent public schools across multiple districts. The majority of the village is served by School District 57 for K–8, which includes Fairview, Lions, Westbrook, Frost, Sunrise, and Lincoln elementary schools, along with Lincoln Middle School. A smaller area falls within Elementary District 59.
For high school, most students attend Prospect High School, part of Township High School District 214. Prospect HS is consistently rated among the top schools in Illinois, offering 30+ AP courses, a well-funded arts program, and competitive athletics. The school pulls from a tight-knit community that takes real pride in it.
Always verify your specific address with the district office, as boundary lines can vary block by block in some neighborhoods.
