Recreational Chicago Ridge, IL

Chicago Ridge takes its name from the Ridges that were created when trainloads of dirt were excavated during the railroad construction days of the 1890s. Today, this proud community welcomes newcomers to a small-town atmosphere that also includes a thriving regional retail center. Located approximately 20 miles southwest of Chicago, the village has developed fine recreational and cultural amenities as well as business and industrial sectors. The Chicago Ridge Mall provides expanded shopping amenities, drawing hundreds of thousands of annual visitors to scores of stores, boutiques, restaurants, and a multi-screen cinema. The growing local economy also includes light industry and warehouse facilities. Commuters appreciate Interstate 294 as it passes by the city’s southwestern boundary, giving the community quick access to the Chicago metro area’s interstate highway and expressway system. Chicago Ridge’s families enjoy a close-knit community atmosphere highlighted by the annual summertime festival. With its carnival setting, tasty foods, and nationally recognized entertainers, the festival is popular throughout the region.
