The Chicago suburb of York Center was created with community in mind
York Center started with a big vision of shared ownership: after World War II, locals banded together with the goal of turning 100 acres into a community-owned neighborhood. Today, York Center is a slice of relaxed suburbia, dotted with parks, entertainment destinations and highly praised schools. “This area is a quiet place to have your home, but it’s also a great shopping and dining mecca,” says Realtor Wendy Lee. York Center aimed high at its inception and has now settled into a comfortable groove. If you value simplicity mixed with convenience, take a look around this neighborhood.

Townhouses and foursquares reflect decades of home styles
Gridded streets spread out from Roosevelt Road, ensuring that everyone has equal access to neighborhood amenities. Many homes are in the $200,000 to $300,000 range. On the former end of that spectrum, expect to see multi-level townhouses blending ranch and Tudor features – a mix of brick and tan wood representative of their late 60s or early 70s build date. On the latter end of that spectrum, you might encounter prewar homes with yards larger than a quarter acre. These tend to have the boxy shape reminiscent of American foursquare homes, and the interior has the spaciousness of an open concept layout.

Shopping at a dog-friendly mall and dining at a local pub
Yorktown Center is a central point for shopping, offering 100 stores on two levels. When the mall opened in 1968, it was the biggest in the country – and in 2020, it became the first dog-friendly mall in Illinois. Roosevelt Road, which runs east-west through the neighborhood, is another commercial corridor. Head to Villa Oaks Shopping Center for fun retail spots like Sal’s Beverage World, which offers all manner of wines. You can also take care of everyday errands at CVS, Aldi and Pete’s Fresh Market. For a hangout where you’re destined to see locals, swing by Anyway’s Pub. American comfort food is served in a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of pubs you’d find in northside Chicago.
Yorktown Mall is conveniently located minutes from York Center.

Schools offer dual language, theater and STEM programs
Schools are integrated with homes, giving them a true neighborhood feel. Nearly 300 students attend Stevenson School, a K-2 institution. York Center Elementary is the sister school of Stevenson, and has 200 students at the 3-5 grade level. These two elementaries offer a dual language program, band, orchestra, choir and hands-on science experiments with the help of Elmhurst College.
Jackson Middle is a substantially larger school, with nearly 750 students enrolled at the 6-8 grade level. The school is known for its Destination Imagination program, where teams of seven students join together to creatively solve various problems. Once they arrive at a solution, it’s then presented to a live audience in the form of an interactive skit. Four challenges are STEM focused, whereas two of the challenges focus on the fine arts. Willowbrook High is easily the largest school in the area, with nearly 2,000 students enrolled at the 9-12 grade level. Theatre is a popular pastime here, with over 200 students involved in three annual productions.
