Large, estate-size properties, lush, ornamental landscapes and bucolic, quiet subdivisions distinguish the Village of Indian Head Park as "a very special place" for residents. Yet the village's convenient location to Interstate 55 and the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) beckons a diverse business community of more than 400 corporations, retailers and manufacturers.

Residents have prioritized the preservation of natural habitat of the community, doing everything possible to improve, protect, and preserve the beautiful trees, landscaping and natural resources that so define the area.

Chicago, with its kaleidoscope of attractions, is just minutes away by expressway or public transportation. The town's location also permits ready access to many of the area's major medical centers and universities.

Housing is available in a vast array of established and new homes. Single family, multi-unit, moderately priced and upscale homes are scattered throughout the town. The residential landscape of Indian Head Park reflects a variety of styles from cozy, older bungalows to more contemporary designs. All are set in quiet, safe family-oriented neighborhoods. Like the rest of the greater Chicago area, houses are comparable to the rest of the nation, and always offer a good return on your money! Prices for single-family homes range from $85,000, to well over $500,000 in some of the more high-end custom homes. The average home selling price is approximately $180,000. Town homes and condominiums range in price from $89,000 to $250,000.

Indian Head Park unquestionably experiences all four seasons. Summer time comes in full blast as temperatures peak up to the 90's and 100's. Fall is washed in color as the trees are splashed with shades of gold, orange, red and green. Winter is snowman season, as the thermometer dips into the teens and twenties.

Indian Head Park is a community with a distinctive "home town" atmosphere, a place where people really get to know their neighbors. However, a visitor could easily forget that this beautiful, peaceful suburban village is only minutes away from Chicago, third largest city in the nation.
