Nature preserve sits along subdivisions
In the village of Orland Park, the Grasslands neighborhood is home to 750 acres of open prairie where people can walk among native plants and animals. “You start to feel far away from the houses and businesses,” says Carl Vogel, director of communications with the Forest Preserves of Cook County. A collection of subdivisions lies to the west of the forest preserves, with several neighborhood parks scattered throughout. Families send their children to Orland School District No. 101, which receives an A-minus from Niche, and locals often visit the stores and restaurants in the southern part of Grasslands.
Orland Grasslands is a popular nature reserve and the namesake of the Grasslands neighborhood.
Orland Grasslands is a popular place for an afternoon walk.

Orland Grassland offers hiking among native plants
The eastern part of the neighborhood is filled by Orland Grassland and Orland Grassland-South, part of the Forest Preserves of Cooks County. This land, while never built on, was once used for farming, and the Forest Preserves have been working to restore it to its natural state since 2002 by removing drain tiles and invasive species. Now, the space is filled with native plants and over 100 varieties of birds. “It’s somewhere you can go see what it was like before settlers were there,” Vogel says. Besides bird watching, locals can hike and bike 13 miles of trails and explore the surrounding greenery. The rest of the neighborhood has several parks, including Discovery Park, which offers amenities such as a playground, bocce ball court and a soccer field. People can also visit the Stellwagen Farm, one of five heritage sites in Orland Park, to learn some local history.

Modern homes in Grasslands subdivisions
Grasslands’ residential area is split into several subdivisions. Sidewalks are separated from the wide roads and cul-de-sacs by a thin line of trees, and many homes sit upon large, manicured lawns with landscaping that is kept up by the local homeowners associations, which charge monthly fees that start at $150. Contemporary ranch styles and split levels sit among mid-century modern homes that sometimes feature asymmetrical roofs, and most properties have wide driveways and two or three-car garages. Prices for a three or four-bedroom single-family typically fall between $425,000 and $575,000. However, the Olde Mill subdivision’s new traditional homes with sprawling brick and stone exteriors start at $625,000. Two-bedroom ranch-style and split-level townhouses in the Eagle Ridge community tend to cost between $275,000 and $325,000.
Colonial revival homes are common in Grasslands.
