On the North Shore, Winnetka has earned its claim to glory, coolness, quaintness and fame. It’s not just because this is a small village of 12,000 people; it’s because of the big things and large living most of the residents have managed to extract out of life. The people are sharp, the shops are classy, the real estate is off the charts –price wise and luxurious-estate wise. Oh yes, and the exquisite landscaping won’t escape the discerning home-gardener’s eye. According to Biz Week it has the 14th richest zip code in America. Oh, yes, the public beaches are awesome and then there are schools like New Trier, perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs who may get into Risky Business.
“So what if there’s affluence here?”says Mike Kaufman, master of North Shore turf. “We can and often dowork with significant wealth. There are housing alternatives, there are finds, there are circumstances that compel bargains, so let’s keep our minds and eyes open together.”
