Del Mar Woods, a small unincorporated area on Chicago’s North Shore, is tucked away between Bannockburn on the South and East, and forest preserve on the north and south.
Established in the 1920’s as a residential area for domestics servicing Lake Foresters, Del Mar Woods has long since come into its own. Today, many of the original homes have been expanded beyond recognition or completely replaced by much larger models.
This primary purpose of this website is to keep you informed of activities in and around Del Mar Woods. Other informative items will be added from time to time.
The “Hot Topic” of the day seems to center around a massive change in character facing Del Mar Woods. As of September 12, 2005, there have been 16 teardowns, 14 of which have been, or are in the process of being replaced with two story homes. And in most cases, these new homes fall into the category of “McMansions.”
But that’s not the only cause for concern among some residents: a major concern seems to be the loss of trees which are in the path of the massive new foundations. For more on this issue, click HERE
On another front, there’s been a lot of activity up and down Half Day Road. For more information, click HERE
