Modern Palos Heights, IL

Those who are looking for a modern, residential community in the serenity and beauty of a rural setting will want to explore the residential neighborhoods of Palos Heights. The heavily wooded, rolling terrain provides a country atmosphere, even though Chicago's Loop is only a short distance from home. This unique blending of urban and country Iiving has made Palos Heights a popular choice for professionals and families. Some of the most stylish homes in the southwest suburbs can be found nestled beside 14,700 acres of lush Illinois forest preserve, including custom Tudors, colonials, and ranches on half-acre lots. A new recreational area developed along the Cal-Sag Channel features walking paths, restaurants, and other amenities. Lake Katherine features an 80-acre nature preserve with hiking trails, waterfall, a clubhouse, and a nature center. The city has developed superb recreational amenities including a community park with an Olympic-size pool, extensive sports fields, picnic areas, and a charming gazebo. Local shopping is available in a variety of shops and stores along the Harlem Avenue corridor. Commuters can link to Interstate 294 in minutes, although Metra's Norfolk Southern Line reaches the Loop from Palos Park and bus service is also available.
