Buffalo Grove's Signature Levitt-Built Neighborhood
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Strathmore is Buffalo Grove's defining neighborhood — the sweeping Levitt & Sons development that turned the village into a family destination in the late 1960s and '70s. Its ranches, colonials and split-levels on curving streets set the template for everything Buffalo Grove became.
Parks, pools and schools were planned into the neighborhood from day one, and that infrastructure — plus housing stock that renovates beautifully — keeps Strathmore perennially in demand.
Strathmore homes typically sell between $400,000 and $600,000 depending on model and updates. The Levitt floor plans are well understood by local buyers, which keeps the market efficient — renovated homes command clear premiums, and priced-right originals move in days.
The development's signature two-stories, many handsomely updated.
Single-level and split designs that suit every stage of life.
Lots near the neighborhood's built-in parks and pools carry a premium.
Strathmore's northern sections generally feed Stevenson High School (District 125) while southern sections attend Buffalo Grove High School (District 214) — both excellent, but verify your block's assignment, as the boundary matters to many buyers. School boundaries in the northwest suburbs can vary block by block — always verify your specific address with the district office before purchasing.
Strathmore is minutes from Buffalo Grove's Town Center corridor, Willow Stream Park's aquatic center, the Buffalo Grove Golf Course, and the Metra's North Central Service — with both Lake Cook and Dundee Road conveniences at hand. Explore our full Buffalo Grove guide →
