The other county that lives in the middle
Like Kendall, DeKalb has no ZIP code inside 25 miles and none beyond 60. All 17 of them fall between 28.3 and 56.4 miles — a genuinely uniform county to serve.
It is a bigger version of that idea though: 17 ZIP codes across 13 towns, against Kendall's smaller roster. This is where the collar suburbs give way to farm towns, and the difference shows up in the kitchens. More original cabinetry, more houses that have had one remodel rather than three, and a lot of laminate that has earned its retirement.

Older houses, squarer rooms
Out here we run into more pre-war and mid-century houses with small, closed kitchens and load-bearing walls in inconvenient places. Two things follow from that. First, the countertop is often the last step of a bigger project, so we template after the dust rather than before. Second, tight rooms and narrow doorways decide seam placement, and we would rather plan a seam than force a slab.
None of that costs extra. It just means the conversation at template is longer than it would be in a 2005 subdivision, and that is time well spent.
