There are a wide range of homes for sale in Brookfield. Many will recognize the huge number of Chicago bungalows there. The area feels very urban, as most of it is a “grid system” with 25’ wide lots. Smaller, cape cod homes can be had for well under $300,000. But there are also newly renovated homes, and new construction, in the $450,000 – $600,000+ range.
