Where are the best schools in the U.S. with homes that offer the best value? Realtor.com recently answered that question and posted the top 10 school districts in America with homes that won’t break your budget. Using data from Greatschools.org they found every district that scored a 10 rating (the highest) and calculated the median home price within that district. Next they compared home prices in each of those top school districts within their respected counties and identified the top 10 districts where you’ll pay the smallest premium – thus producing a list of school districts that are most within financial reach. Indeed…

- Community High School District 117 (Lake Villa, IL), median home price: $219,900 (27% lower than county median)
