The far reaches of the Windy City

Orland Park is a small village on the outskirts of Chicago’s suburban influence that has much to recommend it. Its central district, aptly referred to as Central Orland Park, is home to the village’s wide variety of shops and restaurants, the many amenities of its largest green space and an excellent school system. Despite its position on the Metra line, giving residents quick access to downtown Chicago, the community of Orland Park feels like a small-town haven from the rush of the outside world. With new constructions going up daily, Central Orland Park is an attractive location for anyone looking to reside on the cusp of suburban quietude and downtown hustle.
