Below is the same location in August of 2015. The address is 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois.

Directly across the street is the house Marv and Harry burglarize. In the still above from the movie, Marv and Harry begin to pull out of the neighbor's driveway and almost hit Kevin. Below is the same location in 2015. You can find this house at 656 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka.
