A, constructed in 1969, offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Palos Hills, just 40 minutes southwest of Downtown Chicago. This two-story condominium complex houses 77 units, providing residents with a blend of suburban tranquility and urban accessibility. Situated near 15,000 acres of nature preserves, A embodies the essence of Palos Hills' commitment to green spaces and outdoor living. The building's simple design, featuring a combination of brickwork and vertical siding, reflects the era of its construction while offering modern comforts within.
Spacious layouts with updated features
A offers a range of floor plans to suit various needs, from cozy one-bedroom units to generous three-bedroom homes. The one-bedroom units span 650 to 820 square feet, each with one bathroom, and are available for rent from $1,050 per month. These compact yet comfortable spaces are ideal for singles or couples seeking an affordable entry point into the Palos Hills community.
For those requiring more space, the two-bedroom units offer 800 to 1,100 square feet of living area, also with one bathroom. These units, with sale prices around $130,000, provide a balance of affordability and space. Many of these homes feature updated kitchens with white cabinets, creating a bright and modern aesthetic.
The most spacious options are the three-bedroom units, ranging from 1,000 to 1,300 square feet with two full bathrooms. Priced around $150,000, these larger units are perfect for families or those who desire extra room. End units in this category are particularly sought after, offering additional natural light and a sense of privacy.
Throughout the complex, residents enjoy open-concept living spaces that seamlessly connect kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms. Many units boast balconies or patios, providing serene views of the surrounding nature. Recent updates in various units include fresh paint, vinyl flooring, and stainless steel appliances. Spacious bedrooms with generous closet space are a common feature, with master suites in the larger units offering en-suite bathrooms for added convenience.
Community-focused amenities for year-round enjoyment
A offers a selection of amenities designed to enhance the living experience for its residents. The centerpiece is the community pool, a refreshing oasis during warm summer months where neighbors can gather, relax, and cool off. Adjacent to the pool, a playground provides a safe and fun environment for children, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere within the complex.
The building's courtyard serves as a communal space for residents to enjoy the outdoors, perfect for picnics or casual gatherings. For added convenience, the complex features on-site laundry facilities, eliminating the need for in-unit washers and dryers.
Each unit comes equipped with essential appliances, including a refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher, ensuring a comfortable and functional living space. The tub/shower combinations in the bathrooms offer versatility for daily routines.
Storage is a priority at A, with assigned storage lockers and additional storage units available for residents who need extra space. This feature is particularly valuable for those downsizing from larger homes or those with seasonal items to store.
Ample parking is provided through unassigned spaces, ensuring residents and their guests always have a place to park. The combination of these amenities creates a comfortable and convenient living environment, balancing privacy with community engagement.
Nature-rich suburb with urban conveniences
Palos Hills offers a unique blend of natural beauty and suburban comfort, making it an attractive location for those seeking a respite from city life without sacrificing urban amenities. The neighborhood is renowned for its extensive green spaces, with the 15,000-acre Palos Preserves serving as a crown jewel. This vast network of forest preserves provides residents with unparalleled access to outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing across more than 40 miles of trails.
The area's commitment to nature is further exemplified by its designation as an "Urban Night Sky Place" by the International Dark-Sky Association, offering residents the rare opportunity to stargaze despite proximity to Chicago. For golf enthusiasts, the Palos Hills Golf Course, a nine-hole public course, is nearby, providing an accessible venue for both casual players and serious golfers.
Education is a priority in Palos Hills, with highly rated schools serving the community. Willow Springs Elementary School, just a short walk from A, offers education from pre-kindergarten through middle school grades and boasts a GreatSchools rating of 7 out of 10. For high school students, Argo Community High School is a short drive away, known for its comprehensive academic and extracurricular programs.
Local dining options cater to various tastes and budgets. The Willow Springs Family Restaurant, a mere 10-minute walk from A, offers affordable breakfast and lunch options in a cozy setting. For those craving classic American fare, Granny's Country Kitchen, a short drive away, serves up comfort food in a homey atmosphere.
Everyday conveniences are readily accessible, with several grocery options within a short drive. Tony's Fresh Market, known for its wide selection of fresh produce and specialty imported foods, is about 4.5 miles away. For more mainstream shopping, Target and Kohl's are both within a 4-mile radius, offering a range of clothing, home goods, and everyday essentials.
Community engagement thrives in Palos Hills, with events like the annual Friendship Fest bringing residents together for food, music, and entertainment. This four-day summer festival showcases the tight-knit nature of the community and provides a platform for local businesses and artists.
For those seeking cultural experiences, the Fine and Performing Arts Center at Moraine Valley Community College hosts theatrical productions and musical performances, enriching the local arts scene. The college itself is a valuable resource, offering continuing education opportunities and community programs.
Commuter-friendly with diverse transit options
While A is situated in a primarily car-dependent area, it offers several transportation options for residents. The nearest bus stop, Archer Ave & Nolton Ave, is about a 10-minute walk away and serves the Midway CTA - UPS Hodgkins Limited line, providing a connection to the broader Chicago transit network.
For those commuting to downtown Chicago or nearby suburbs, the Willow Springs Metra Station is approximately a 5-minute drive or a 30-minute walk from A. This station, served by the Heritage Corridor Line, offers a convenient alternative to driving, especially during peak traffic hours.
Residents who prefer to drive will appreciate the easy access to major highways. Interstate 55 is nearby, facilitating quick trips to downtown Chicago in about 40 minutes, depending on traffic. This proximity to major roadways also makes it easy to explore surrounding suburbs and reach other parts of the Chicagoland area.
For air travel, A is conveniently located between two major airports. Chicago Midway International Airport is just a 15-minute drive away, ideal for domestic flights and some international travel. For more extensive international flight options, Chicago O'Hare International Airport is accessible within a 35-minute drive.
While the area's bike score suggests it's somewhat bikeable, the extensive trail system in the nearby forest preserves offers excellent recreational cycling opportunities. However, for daily commutes or errands, most residents find driving to be the most practical option.
The combination of these transportation options provides A residents with flexibility in their commuting choices, balancing the serenity of suburban living with the need for urban accessibility. Whether traveling for work, leisure, or daily errands, residents can find a transportation method that suits their needs, making A a practical choice for those who value both natural surroundings and city connections.
