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.
