Few price points in the northwest suburbs put sailing, golf and lakefront picnics this close to home; Lake Park does it in the $300s and $400s.
Lake Park-area homes typically sell between $350,000 and $525,000, with updated homes and those closest to the lake leading. South Des Plaines' O'Hare-corridor convenience keeps steady demand from commuters and airport-area professionals.
