The affordable corner of Arlington Heights — with new-build upside
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Northwest Highlands sits at Arlington Heights' northwest corner and has long been one of the most attainable ways into the town — recent sales around $415K–$435K make it a genuine entry point in a market where the median runs far higher.
The spread in current listings tells the other half of the story: alongside $525K originals sits a $1.35M new build. Like several west-side pockets, the neighborhood is seeing teardown-and-rebuild activity that's gradually lifting the ceiling.
Recent sales cluster in the low-to-mid $400s while listings run from $525K to $1.35M for new construction — a neighborhood in transition, which spells opportunity on both sides.
1950s–60s single-levels that define the entry price.
Mid-century multi-levels with room to update.
Custom two-stories replacing originals at $1M+.
