House Hunt: Five Homes for Sale, One From Each D101 Neighborhood

This week's Western Springs House Hunt comes courtesy of a reader's comment on an former edition: if we're going to select homes at at random, why not one from each neighborhood?

Well, we're bedded to the whole "five," theme, which means we can't pick one from each neighborhood, given that Western Springs has about 10 (give or take, depending on your definition.) But seven of those are D101 neighborhoods, and taking out the smaller two (Fairview Estates and Commonwealth), we have five—and we found in each a home we hadn't profiled before.
