Brookfield – The major commerce in Brookfield comes in the form of the Brookfield Zoo, which is a substantial piece of commerce for the location. However, this leaves plenty of room for artful landscapes, beautiful views and Victorian, 19th century architecture. The charm of these residential districts continues to draw some of the most discerning residents in the Chicago area. Property types range from 1920s bungalow to modern post-World War II Baby Boomer architecture.
