Palestinian-American hub with popular events in the Chicago suburbs

But a distinctive cultural identity, vibrant local events and acclaimed education options help set life in this village apart.

"For families of the religion, it’s a huge draw.”

Single-family homes southwest of Chicago

The village’s median home value is much lower than the national median and similar to neighboring communities like Chicago Ridge, Worth, Hickory Hills and Burbank. Some areas on the south side of the village near Interstate 294 may experience higher noise levels.
