Des Plaines' busiest single-family market — eleven sales last year around $465K
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Waycinden Park is where Des Plaines' single-family market actually happens: eleven sales in the past year between $361,000 and $555,000, more than any other named neighborhood in town. It's a classic 1950s–60s community of ranches and split-levels on the city's north side, with the parks-and-sidewalks feel that made these postwar neighborhoods work in the first place.
That volume matters for buyers and sellers alike — comps are plentiful, pricing is honest, and there's usually something to tour. Updated homes push toward the mid-$500s; originals offer some of the best project value in the corridor.
Eleven sales in twelve months, median $465,000 — the most liquid single-family market in Des Plaines. Well-updated homes clear quickly; original-condition homes attract renovators and value hunters.
The postwar core — brick and frame single-levels with hardwood under the carpet more often than not.
Multi-level plans with lower-level family rooms, the neighborhood's family workhorse.
Renovations and additions that anchor the $500K+ end.
