Although the community of Evergreen Park is a mid-sized community, the village is a place where hundreds of thousands of babies have been born since 1930. The Little Company of Mary Hospital not only provides a major regional healthcare facility but serves as a major local employer. Evergreen Park is primarily a residential haven of stable and established neighborhoods. Although no Iand is available for new construction in this established area. newcomers will find a wide selection of comfortable homes. Much of the housing selection is more than 50 years old, offering a mix of Cape Cods, ranches, and Georgians on well-kept properties in the heart of town. Evergreen Park is well known throughout the Chicago metropolitan region as the home of Drury Lane Theatre, a popular dinner playhouse that offers Broadway productions with renowned stars. The thriving retail centers of Evergreen Plaza and Westport Commons are also regional magnets. Lacking major industry, the town depends on its successful retail operations and services for local revenue. Metra commuter trains run from the village to Chicago's Loop in less than an hour.
