Family Oriented Midlothian, ILNamed after a city in Scotland, suburban Midlothian parlays ethnic pride into endless
plaid-waving festivals. The Scottish Fair is an annual October event, and the Scottish
theme continues with plaid city logos on the village vehicles' However, Midlothian
not only honors the past-it plans for the future with a blueprint for quality growth
and expansion. The housing selection ranges from well-kept older homes to upscale new
construction surrounded by meticulous landscaping. In most neighborhoods, the
prevailing architectural styles are Chicago-style bungalows, Cape Cods, ranches, and
split levels. As one of the village landmarks, the Midlothian Country Club invested $2
million in remodeling to recapture its former glory. The village was incorporated in 1921
and actually took its name from the country club. This family-oriented community offers
a new library, an excellent park district, good schools, an abundance of youth groups and
sports programs, and the natural beauty of forest preserves. Other advantages include
low taxes, fine services, easy access to public transportation, and many opportunities for
shopping and entertainment. | More Local Area InformationLocated 22 miles south of downtown Chicago, Oak Forest is less than a half mile
