Tranquil Oak Forest, IL

Located 22 miles south of downtown Chicago, Oak Forest is less than a half mile from Interstate 57. The city is home to a wide variety of businesses that enjoy access to three major expressways within a three-mile radius, while commuters appreciate the availability of the Rock Island Metra station to reach the Loop. Convenience for residents and commerce is undoubtedly one of the reasons that Oak Forest is one of the fastest-growing cities in Southland. In spite of its strong local economy, Oak Forest is primarily characterized as a bedroom community of tranquil neighborhoods with shopping plazas and parks nearby. Shoppers also frequent the bustling commercial corridors along Cicero Avenue and 159th Street. Many of the subdivisions have been built on rolling hills and feature home styles that include ranches, mid and split-levels, and two-story contemporaries. Lush parks and well-equipped recreation centers offer a kaleidoscope of amenities, from miniature golf to sports fields, an ice-skating rink, and swimming pools. Oak Forest is the setting for the George W Dunne National Golf Course and an Irish cultural center.
