Centennial is located in Orland Park, just southwest of Chicago.
A bustling suburbia southwest of Chicago
For those seeking an active lifestyle in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, Centennial is a good place for it. "The Centennial neighborhood is fairly new. Obviously, you have the park right there, and houses have been appreciating well," says Rick Wyrick, broker with Baird & Warner. Named after nearby Centennial Park, residents have access to dozens of outdoor activities. Homes include newer subdivisions and established small ranch-style residences, and students attend schools within the Orland School District No. 135, which ranks an A-minus on Niche. The Orland Square shopping mall is 3 miles east, with several chains and local shopping options.
New and established homes near Centennial Park
Because development here is relatively new compared to much of Chicago, dwellings date back only to the late 1990s and early 2000s. Most of Centennial is comprised of single-family homes, but a few condos and apartments are available throughout the neighborhood, too. Traditional-style residences with spacious front yards and two-car garages around Royal Glen Drive hover at prices between $550,000 and $800,000, some with private pools and hedged backyards. Two-bedroom townhouses in the Colette Highlands Townhome Association cost around $340,000. Established ranch houses with two or more bedrooms near Wolf Road are valued between $250,000 and $400,000.
