Distinct architecture meets Frankfort community
Along with block party updates and ads from community members' small businesses, news of new architectural plans in Prestwick are broadcast to residents in the Prestwick Homeowners Association newsletter. With four winding, secluded drives surrounding Prestwick Country Club, the neighborhood offers limited available land for new custom homes, so each new entry adds more character to an already-eclectic collection. “One thing about Frankfort is that it’s full of newer developments and subdivisions,” says Stefanie Campbell, broker with @properties Christie's International Real Estate. “An awesome thing about Prestwick is that it has more architecturally interesting homes.” Many homeowners are also members of the country club, a destination for golf trips, wedding parties and other events throughout the year.

Unique estates and Prestwick Country Club views
Stone signs and flower beds mark each of the five Prestwick section entrances: Aberdeen, Prestwick Drive, Shetland, and Highland/Saint Andrews Way. None of these roads have sidewalks, but through-traffic is limited—the first three are the only way in and out of their sections, and Highland meets St. Andrews Way in the middle, creating a loop. The seclusion lends itself to a CAP overall crime score of 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score. At the center of the community closest to the course are two-to-three-bedroom condos in ivory Colonial-style buildings, with units priced between $200,000 to $300,000. Existing single-family homes may have four to six bedrooms within 4,000 to 6,000 square feet, and price points from about $450,000 to $750,000—though some elect to purchase undeveloped plots and start from scratch, which range from $60,000 to $145,000 depending on proximity to the golf course. Unlike nearby subdivisions that stick to newer architectural concepts, builders have flexibility here. Sprawling Cape Cods, Tudor-style timbering and Dutch-Colonial elements like gabled roofing all sit on the same street, along with more modest ranch-style homes and New Traditionals. Though those south of the course don’t have the same view, they enjoy the same shade from maples, hickories, oaks and lindens. The Prestwick Homeowners Association keeps track of new custom homes added to the community, as well as additions and alterations to existing homes. Sheds, greenhouses and other detached additions are not permitted, though homes have plenty of driveway space for all vehicles.

Prestwick Country Club amenities and nearby parks
A stately white clubhouse anchors Prestwick Country Club and the 18-hole golf course. “What's awesome about the proximity is that members that live around the course walk to the club or take their golf cart,” Campbell says. As the chairperson of the membership committee for the club, she often receives inquiries about the relationship between the club and homeowners. “Plenty of homeowners aren’t members, they just enjoy the aesthetics,” she says. Living in Prestwick doesn’t automatically mean membership, but those who secure sponsorship play golf or tennis, and swim in the heated pool and diving well. Residents head across West Sauk Trail to reach Commissioners Park for Little League games at the ball field or afternoons at Fort Frankfort, a sturdy wooden play zone with rickety bridges, climbing towers and tire swings. The splash pad is open throughout the summer, and kids often spend the day at both the fortress and the fountains. East of Commissioners Park, just past Saint Anthony Catholic Church on a quiet two-lane road, is the Sauk Trail Bike Path. This one-mile route sits next to Sauk Trail Reservoir, which comprises nearly 250 acres of preserved forest and wetland habitats along Hickory Creek.
Prestwick is known for it's large community center.

Gearing up for Prestwick community events
The doors of Prestwick Country Club are sometimes closed for private events, a service open to members and non-members to celebrate weddings and hold banquets in the clubhouse dining rooms. The rest of the year, members and their families look to their event committee for social opportunities from holiday brunches and wine tastings to Independence Day fireworks and regatta races in the pool. The club also hosts junior leagues in golf, water polo and tennis, as well as a swim team open to children or grandchildren of members. Locals who aren’t a part of the country gear up for events hosted by the Village of Frankfort, advertised with flyers in local businesses and on the village website. Local and regional acts play at the Frankfort Bluegrass Festival, which brings two stages and over 40 performances around each summer to the village center.

Getting to downtown Chicago from Frankfort
Prestwick is about 33 miles from downtown Chicago. Though located a bit too deep into the south suburbs to have Pace suburban bus connections, drivers are well-situated for their commutes and errands. “Another nice thing is you’ll be close to Interstate 57, the expressway,” Campbell says, referring to the most popular thoroughfare into the Windy City. Those who want to skip the traffic each morning can choose from the Matteson and Richton Park Metra stations about 6 miles east, each part of the Metra Electric line to Millennium Station downtown. Many of the essentials are closer to home in Frankfort, like Physicians Immediate Care, 4.4 miles away, or Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, the closest hospital 6.5 miles away. As for commercial flights, Prestwick is about 24.5 miles south of Chicago Midway International Airport.
Prestwick residents can quickly access downtown Chicago via the local Metra station.

Window shopping in Frankfort’s village square
Prestwick Country Club offers an indoor and outdoor dining menu most of the year for its golfers and swimmers, while the greater Frankfort area holds the rest of the essentials. Shoppers sift into Jewel-Osco and Mariano’s parking lots at the corner of Illinois Routes 45 and 30, about 5 miles west of Prestwick alongside chain restaurants. The local scene is a few miles south in Frankfort’s village center, where residents leave their cars in one of several lots and stop into boutiques, vintage shops and curated home goods stores with walls of candles and locally made jewelry. Customers sit amidst vibrant colors as they enjoy you-pick-three taco plates at Fat Rosie’s Taco & Tequila Bar, named after a rotund donkey that chef and proprietor Scott Harris met during a trip across the border. Cultivate Community Table offers a farm-to-table experience with vegan and gluten-free options. Shoppers can finish off with coffee, ice cream, or chocolate-covered foods from oranges to bacon at family-owned business Short & Sweet-Tasty Treats.
