Waterfront View From Buyers' New Home in Carol Stream's Shining Waters SubdivisionYesterday two of my buyers closed on a lovely home in Carol Stream’s Shining Waters Subdivision. Shown left is a view from their waterfront back yard.

Recently Carol Stream caught the attention of Move Inc. which operates Realtor.com. According to their press release, “home buyers are less likely to compromise on school quality than on being close to work, shopping and other daily conveniences to buy in the current real estate market.”

Carol Stream was 1 of 5 communities mentioned for “affordable homes near top-rated schools close to the largest U.S. cities.” Move Inc. noted Carol Stream’s average home sale price of around $250K, highly rated schools and a 30 mile commute to Chicago.
