Maturing Markham, IL

Although the community of Markham is still maturing, continued development is inevitable with the growth trend toward Chicago Southland communities. To attract quality business and industry and position the city to take the best possible advantage of these changes, planners have established a tax increment financing district. Residents enjoy easy access to Interstates 51 and 294 via interchanges with US Highway 6, also known as 159th Street. Interstate 80 is available a short distance from the city to the south. The 159th Street corridor is already a favored location for shops and services, and retail plazas are springing up throughout the community. Newcomers can choose from a pleasing selection of housing that ranges from older, well-kept homes and modest bungalows to newer construction.
