A suburban village full of community amenities

Addison is a village home to roughly 35,000 people, giving it the activity of a smaller town away from the bustle of the neighboring Windy City. Addison's residents are just a few minutes from shopping centers, parks and dining opportunities. In addition to providing resources like a library system, the village also organizes community events. “Addison really strives to keep the condition of town nice,” says Anna Giacone, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Liberty. “I’ve raised four children here; they’re all adults now and don’t want to go anywhere else.”

When residents want to leave Addison, the community’s central location is not far from a Metra station or Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Industry is also abundant with top employers like the United Postal Service and Corporate headquarters for companies like The Pampered Chef and restaurant equipment distributor Parts Town.

Mid-century suburbs and a handful of new subdivisions

Addison’s median home price is $358,000. "If you’re coming this way from Chicago, the prices are pretty good,” Giacone says. “You can get more house for your money than in other suburbs.” Tightly packed mid-century communities fill the bulk of the community with ranch, split-level and other architectural styles of the era. The village has welcomed a handful of subdivisions over the last 25 years. These include Mill Creek and Armani Circle, which feature New Traditional styles that typically range from $500,000 to $750,000. Pockets of condos and townhomes are also available and usually sell between $100,000 and $500,000.

Suburban Pace Buses service mainline roads like West Lake Street and Rohlwing Road. Interstate 290 runs along Addison’s northern side, connecting residents to downtown Chicago, 21 miles southeast. Three miles south, Villa Park is the nearest Metra station and connects to the city in about an hour. Chicago O’Hare International Airport is 11 miles to the northeast.

Addison's crime statistics and environmental concerns

According to the Addison Police Department’s 2023 annual report, crimes against persons decreased by 28.6% and property crimes decreased by 2.2%. The department runs several crime prevention programs, from DARE programming for school-aged students to Juvenile Crime Prevention Programs.

Considering the village’s proximity to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, residents are susceptible to periodic noise from overhead planes.

The site also provides in-depth information on flood safety procedures.
