D96 is the largest sender district in D125. It serves Long Grove (100%), Kildeer (portions), and parts of Buffalo Grove and Hawthorn Woods. The same well-resourced district that Long Grove families use.
Kildeer sits immediately adjacent to Long Grove and shares much of its character — large wooded lots, a quiet village feel, equestrian properties. The Equestrian Connection facility is located here, and Hawthorn Woods Country Club is nearby.
Because Kildeer is less prominently searched than Long Grove, buyers willing to verify their address carefully often find better value here. The D96 sender district — the same one serving Long Grove — makes the school experience identical once your address is confirmed inside D125.
Home to the Equestrian Connection facility. Kildeer has the largest minimum lot sizes in D125 and a genuine equestrian community character not found elsewhere in the district.
Minimum lot sizes are typically larger in Kildeer than in Buffalo Grove or Lincolnshire. Wooded settings and privacy are defining characteristics of the village.
Hawthorn Woods Country Club (golf, tennis, pool) is nearby. The surrounding area has several private and semi-private golf courses within minutes.
The D125 portion of Kildeer uses the exact same Kildeer-Countryside D96 sender district as Long Grove — same schools, same pipeline to Stevenson.
