Incorporated in 1873, Hinsdale is an affluent Chicago suburb located mostly in Du Page County but a small portion lies in Cook County. The town is often referred to as the "epicenter" of the tear down phenomenon that begun in the 1980's and spread nationally, with well more than 25% of its homes having been replaced with larger, newer homes mostly valued at $1mm and above.
Hinsdale has a quaint downtown that contains boutique shops and restaurants. Part of the popularity is because it is only a 20-minute train ride from downtown Hinsdale to downtown Chicago.
Hinsdale is also known for its excellent public school system ranked among the best on all levels in the state of Illinois.

The size of most homes is medium with three or four bedrooms, and the rest being large homes with 5 or more bedrooms. Hinsdale is home to hundreds of properties valued over $1 million.
The housing stock is a combination of
newly constructed custom homes, well established homes that were built
between 1940-1969, and some historical homes built earlier than
1939. Hinsdale is truly a community of fine homes with vast
choices in architectural style. The streets have a city
neighborhood appeal with large trees arching over many of the
streets in the village. Hinsdale has both old and new housing choices
in many differing architectural styles. There are homes that
were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, traditional houses with a
classic style, colonial Williamsburg style and many
many modern mansions. Most homes are owner
