The Des Plaines
Real Estate Market
Des Plaines is a vibrant Cook County suburb located just 16 miles northwest of downtown Chicago and immediately adjacent to O'Hare International Airport. Known for its excellent transportation links — O'Hare Blue Line 'L', Metra Union Pacific Northwest and North Central Service lines, and I-90/I-294 interchange — Des Plaines is one of the most transit-accessible suburbs in Chicagoland. The city's diverse housing stock, strong school district (Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District 62 and Maine Township High School District 207), and competitive pricing attract a wide range of buyers.
Home prices in Des Plaines range from $250,000 for bungalows and ranches to $430,000 for updated colonials and larger single-family homes. The downtown Des Plaines area near the Metra station and Lee Street corridor are particularly active, driven by buyer demand for walkable transit access. With O'Hare employment creating strong relocation buyer activity, professional photography that presents Des Plaines homes at their best is essential for capturing maximum value.
K94 Real Estate serves Des Plaines with 24-hour HDR photography, listing videos, and drone aerials. No travel fees in Cook County, with same-week shoot availability across the city.
Range: $250,000–$430,000
