A close-knit community in southwest Chicago
In the 1940s, Joseph Merrion oversaw the construction of 120 homes in southwest Chicago, which has grown into today’s community of 2,000 residents that call the village of Merrionette Park home. This small, Cook County village has walkable, sidewalk-lined streets, and most residents are within walking distance from parks, grocery stores and medical centers. “Merrionette Park is a small and close community,” says Kimberly Neill, a local real estate agent with RE/MAX 1st Service. “I grew up in the area, and you get the best of both worlds: a suburban atmosphere with all the conveniences of suburban living. We also have lower house prices and more established homes for the area.”
Small homes outside the Windy City
With an average listing price just under $200,000, Merrionette Park is more affordable than the surrounding south Chicago suburbs. Cozy brick bungalows with two bedrooms and around 1,000 square feet hit the market for $160,000 or so, while for $250,000 and above there are four-bedroom abodes with 1,500 square feet. The homes here sit close together on quaint, well-maintained lots, with common architectural styles including split-levels, ranch-style homes and bungalows.
In Merrionette Park East, newer cul-de-sac neighborhoods can be found with modern home builds.
Recently built split-level homes are also present in Merrionette Park East.

Chains and locally-owned outlets
You can cross off the items on your grocery list with a trip to the centrally located Jewel-Osco or Dollar Tree, before stopping for a bite to eat at Beggars Pizza. This local chain has a large menu but is best known for their deep-dish and stuffed pizza-pies. Not in the mood for za? Order an Italian meatball sub or the godfather sandwich, served on garlic bread and full of Italian beef, sweet peppers, meat sauce and mozzarella. Western Avenue is home to numerous local and chain eateries, including Lumes Pancake House, where you can indulge in fluffy buttermilk pancakes, veggie breakfast scrambles and corned beef hash skillets.

Several parks around the vicinity
Local ball players will find a selection of diamonds on Kedzie Avenue, where Merrionette Park’s baseball and softball divisions practice and compete. A short drive northeast takes motorists to Kennedy Park, where locals can be found walking along the tree-shaded walking paths, competing on the outdoor hockey rink or playing on the playground. In the summertime, Kennedy Park draws in community members of all ages to cool off in the pool.

A quad-school system for students
A pipeline of four public schools serves the students of Merrionette Park, starting with Lawn Manor School, where learners can spend their kindergarten through second grade years. For the remainder of their elementary years, kids can head to Meadow Lane School, which is within a half-mile walk of all the village’s homes. Hamlin Upper Grade Center earns a B-minus overall grade from Niche and serves 200 of the area's middle schoolers. Also with a B-minus rating is Eisenhower High School, which hosts a wide variety of unique course offerings outside of its core curriculum, including internet technology and web page design, culinary arts and childhood development and care. Community High School District 218 also hosts an adult transition program, which offers academic, vocational and functional supports to local young adults with disabilities.
