About This Neighborhood

About The Shires

The Shires is one of Prospect Heights' premium small neighborhoods — distinctive homes on the city's trademark generous lots, with recent sales approaching $700,000.

Small neighborhoods like this rarely list; when they do, buyers already watching the area move fast. That's where a locally embedded team earns its keep.

Off-Market & Private Listings

Some homes for sale in The Shires never show up online

Our MLS runs a Private Listing Network — real listings agents can see that never appear on Zillow or any public site, because the sellers want privacy. We can't advertise them. What we can do is share matches directly with our own buyers. If The Shires is where you want to be, tell us exactly what you're looking for — we'll watch the private side for you, and we'll only contact you about that.
