Located close to downtown Winnetka and it’s shops, restaurants, schools and parks.  There is also a Metra station serves the area and all are within walking  distance to the best North Shore beaches.

Originally named Library Plaza, Library Place was built in 1965 and includes eight townhomes. In 2007, a developer purchased and renovated all the units and offered them for sale with prices ranging from the mid-$500s to the mid $700s. Sales were slow, until Chicago home builder J. Lawrence Homes acquired the properties earlier this year and immediately began renovating the units for lease – capitalizing on the current rental trend and the fast-moving market of North Shore luxury rentals.
