House Hunt: Five Most Expensive Homes For Sale in Western Springs II

Back in February, House Hunt spotlighted Western Springs' five most expensive homes up for sale. Since then, the three priciest of those homes have been sold (4907 Fair Elms Ave., 1326 Walnut St., 4807 Central Ave.), while the other two (4209 Western Ave., 4916 Woodland Ave.) have signifigantly dropped in price.

But to fill the void, five new homes have come up to claim the title of "priciest Western Springs houses for sale:" one in Field Park, and four in Forest Hills (and three of those all on Lawn Avenue!)
