The five highest-priced home sales reported in Oak Park & Near West Suburbs, Illinois for the week ending November 1, 2026, came to a combined $7.279 million. All five are single-family homes in Cook County: two in Western Springs and one each in Oak Park, Indian Head Park and La Grange Park.
The group mixes early-20th-century homes, one of them tied to a circle of architects around Frank Lloyd Wright, with much newer construction in the Timber Trails area of Western Springs and a wooded Georgian in Indian Head Park.
