Palestinian-American hub with popular events in the Chicago suburbs
Bridgeview shares its suburban environment with many of its surrounding communities in the southwestern Chicago area. But a distinctive cultural identity, vibrant local events and acclaimed education options help set life in this village apart. On the south side of Bridgeview, the Little Palestine neighborhood is home to one of the largest Palestinian American communities in both Chicagoland and the country. “It’s got a huge Muslim population with a large mosque," says Jason Nash, a broker with @properties Christie’s Real Estate who was raised in the area. "For families of the religion, it’s a huge draw.”
Bridgeview is located alongside a large industrial area.
Bridgeview has a number of memorials for the armed services.

Single-family homes southwest of Chicago
Bridgeview’s home market is generally split between single-family properties and smaller options like townhomes, duplexes and condos. Split-level, Cape Cod and ranch-style homes are plentiful, and most of them were built between the 1940s and 1980s. A small selection of manufactured homes round out the area’s options. 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.

Serving as a cultural hub for Palestinians in the United States, Little Palestine is a neighborhood in Bridgeview, Cook County that is home to a substantial Palestinian American population. About 20 miles southwest of Chicago, the community began to grow in the 1960s and 1970s when Palestinian immigrants first came to settle with hopes of seeking economic and political stability. Here, residents can explore an array of Palestinian businesses and organizations that take pride in the cultural lineage, as well as a variety of shops and restaurants that cater Middle Eastern cuisine and goods.
Little Palestine’s roads echo the grid layout of city streets, with tree-lined sidewalks and verdant yards complementing the closely situated residential houses. “Neighbors are friendly but also value their privacy,” says Manhal Rabadi, a real estate broker at Caldwell Banker Realty with 18 years of experience. Area homes are primarily comprised of 1950s brick or stone ranch styles and Cape Cods priced between $240,000 and $340,000. Townhouses and condominiums start at $100,000 and go up to $230,000, and manufactured homes on leased land are also available from $5,000 to $50,000.
Palestinian American Community Center provides cultural, educational and social services to empower the local community. The village of Bridgeview also organizes the annual Palestine Fest to celebrate Palestinian heritage. Additionally, the Chicago Palestine Film Festival (CPFF) screens a series of Palestinian films to narrate and showcase the history, beauty and struggles of living in Gaza. Area mosques are close by to serve the religious needs of the local community. “The neighborhood boasts over four generations of families who regularly gather for prayer and various community events,” Rabadi says.
Little Palestine is home to many Palestinian-owned local businesses, including restaurants and grocery stores. Al Bawadi Grill serves authentic Middle Eastern fare such as Kanafeh in a laid-back setting. Take in the smell of freshly baked goods at Alwatan Bakery and grab a zatar or a meat pie on the go. Alamal Supermarket and Al-Amal Supermarket and Bakery are well-stocked with fresh halal meats and pita bread, delivering all sorts of Middle Eastern goods to the community. Several blocks to the east is the Chicago Ridge Mall, an indoor shopping center with over 100 stores and big-box retailers such as Kohl’s and The Home Depot.
Glen Oaks Elementary School scores an A Niche rating. Additional prospective schools include George W Lieb Elementary School and Simmons Middle School, both of which have a C-plus score. Oak Lawn Community High School has a B-plus and encourages students to take electives centered around one of 16 career cluster pathways to better prepare for college and career life. Private Islamic schooling includes Aqsa School and Universal School. Aqsa is an all-girls private Islamic school that serves students from prekindergarten through 12th grade, and Universal is one of the largest Islamic schools in North America that offers co-education.
Residents can enjoy some outdoor air and take a walk at Muehe Memorial Park, and children can play at the park’s ball field or playground.

About 4 miles west, there is a vast, expansive range of nature preserves and wooded grounds for walking and hiking, including the Cranberry Slough Nature Preserve, Whole Oak Woods, Hidden Pond Woods and more. Golfers can schedule tee times at Stony Creek Golf Course and families can enjoy a quick trip to the Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens. About 4 miles south of Little Palestine, the center regularly offers youth and adult workshops in gardening and natural science.
