Dolton, IL Condo for Sale

Dolton, IL, known as the “Gateway to the South Suburbs,” offers a quieter alternative to the bustling downtown Chicago, located just 22 miles north. Commuting is convenient with the Metra Electric line and Interstate 94 providing access to the city and surrounding areas. The village features a mix of single-family homes, primarily Cape Cod and bricked ranch-style houses, many built between the 1940s and 1970s. Affordable housing options are prevalent, with many homes priced within the $200,000 range. Dolton Park, centrally located, is a hub for recreational activities, including baseball, tennis, and basketball, while John W. Needles Park offers additional play areas and sports facilities. The Sand Ridge Nature Center forest preserve, located just outside the southeast corner, provides nearly four miles of unpaved walking and biking trails. Shopping along Sibley Boulevard includes Menards, Food4Less, and Citi Trends, alongside dining options like Olivia’s Family Restaurant and Taurus Flavors. Dolton maintains a community-focused atmosphere with a text messaging system to keep residents informed about local events and updates.
