Mount Prospect is a vibrant northwest-suburban village of roughly 53,000 residents, recognized by Money Magazine as one of the Top 50 Places to Live in the United States. About 50 minutes from downtown Chicago, it pairs tree-lined residential streets with a revitalized downtown around its Metra station, plus standout amenities such as Randhurst Village, the Nicholas Sportsplex, Melas Park, and the Mt. Prospect Golf Club.
The Mount Prospect housing market is competitive and largely a redevelopment market, as the village is essentially landlocked. Housing stock includes split-levels, ranches, Cape Cods, bungalows, and colonials, with median home prices in the low-$400,000s as of recent data and larger homes in sought-after pockets such as Lions Park reaching well above that. Condos and townhomes offer more accessible entry points, and homes here are known for selling quickly. Top-ranked schools, including Prospect High School, add lasting family demand.
Mount Prospect borders Holly Connors’s home market of Arlington Heights and rounds out GetBurbed’s core northwest-suburban coverage.

As a founding @properties Christie’s agent with more than $1 billion in lifetime sales, Holly and the GetBurbed team deliver expert pricing and neighborhood guidance across the village.
