About the Wheeling, Illinois Area  |  | | | | |
 Wheeling is a charming town nestled in northeastern Illinois just outside of Chicago. It truly lives to its motto “A community of Choice” by providing a number of opportunity for residents in entertainment, business, services, and amenities. Conveniently located near the city of Chicago, Wheeling offers quick access to the city while preserving a tranquil community for all types of families. The Village of Wheeling began as an overnight stop for travelers from Chicago who were traveling to Wisconsin. Wheeling, formerly Restaurant Row, offered inns and eateries to these travelers until farmers harvested the land. Then, Wheeling became known for its landscaping nurseries. In the 1960s, Wheeling began to grow as an industry and commerce center. Manufacturing plants brought rail transportation for freight shipping in and out of the area. The population growth demanded more commercial development, developing toward the Wheeling of today. The history of the community is valuable to Wheeling residents. The Wheeling Historical Society offers a museum and memorabilia of the village’s roots. Stroll by and take in the enriched history of the village and the pride that has been carried over from its founders to residents today.

Buying Land and New Construction >New Homes
Buying a house that is under construction gives you the opportunity to customize your new home by adding special features to the basic home. When deciding on additional features, consider how they will affect the re-sale value of the home and whether these additions will over-improve your home.
Money spent to improve and modernize kitchens and bathrooms is almost always a good investment. Granite and corian counter tops, side-by-side refrigerators, tile flooring and whirlpool tubs are popular upgrades. If the builder's standard flooring for the living room, dining room or foyer is linoleum, changing to hardwood or tile will increase the resale value of the home. And even if you don't enjoy sitting around a roaring fireplace, the next owner may want one. If you plan to finish the basement later, you may want to "rough-in" the plumbing for a bath during the original construction. You should consider your own enjoyment--and what will increase the value of your home when you sell.
