Characterized as a growing community with award-winning schools and a thriving business sector, Richton Park also features a pleasing selection of affordable housing and available land. The attractive selection of homes in Richton Park were primarily built over the past two decades for a modem setting. A wide range of architectural styles, sizes, and price ranges are available, including cozy bungalows, ranches, split-level, tri- level, and quads. The local parks provide abundant opportunities for recreation and relaxation, including tennis and basketball courts, sports fields, picnic areas, and an ice-skating rink. Residents of all ages can take advantage of the many special programs from sports to arts and crafts. Bus service is available and express trains reach the Loop via the Illinois Central Gulf Metra Line. The Calumet Expressway, Interstates 57 and 80, and the Tri-State Tollway are all nearby. The village is experiencing the greatest growth toward the west where development has sprawled across Interstate 57, welcoming new industry, retail areas, and residential development. The addition of Interstate 57 interchange at Sauk Trail has enhanced the already excellent transportation assets.
