BANNOCKBURN 2571 Waukegan Road

Spring and summer invite a sense of curiosity. With longer days and a full calendar of events, it’s a time when many of us discover new interests and reconnect with our communities. In this issue of Aspire on the Shore , we explore a mix of emerging trends and stories taking shape across the region. Several features highlight what’s gaining momentum on the North Shore right now. From the rise of padel — the fastest-growing racquet sport in the world — to the renewed fascination with vintage jewelry, these stories reflect evolving tastes and pursuits. We also examine today’s longevity movement through a scientific lens and share the latest insights on the local housing market. Elsewhere, we take readers behind the scenes. A Chicago- based film location scout explains what makes a home worthy of the big screen, while the founder of the Winnetka Music Festival reveals how a passion for music grew into one of the area’s most anticipated summer events. This issue also takes a closer look at the concept of curated home maintenance and the appeal of concierge-style property care. Through every season, our homes remain part of what makes life on the North Shore so special. Whether you’re planning your next move or simply looking to make the most of where you are, @properties Christie’s International Real Estate is always here to help.
