A shaded neighborhood in the Second City suburbs
Set in the suburban sprawl of the Second City, Reseda sits just outside the village of Palatine, and its proximity to Chicago is one of the big reasons residents put down roots here. “Reseda is close enough to Chicago to enjoy, but also far enough out to not have to deal with the headaches of living in the city,” says Mike Jacobs, Community Development Director for the Village of Palatine and 22-year resident of the town. Narrow streets lined with old-growth oaks and single-family homes make up this community. Mostly a mix of Colonial-revival and split-level styles, with some multi-unit condos and town houses sprinkled throughout, it’s a quiet, neighborly community where residents form friendships through events and activities held at nearby parks. Award-winning schools and locally owned dining options also make Reseda a desirable neighborhood for families to settle down in, with public transit options making Chicago easily accessible even without a car.

1970s single-family living
Split-levels and two-story Colonial-revivals sit on modest lots throughout Reseda. Many of these homes were built in the 1970s, mainly towards the end of the decade. This means that upgrades may be required for some homes and that many still sport 70’s style amenities. The majority of these single-family homes sell in the $375,000 to $500,000 range, although homes that have already undergone renovations can fetch close to $600,000. Small town house developments offer single-family units at a slightly lower price point, usually between $200,000 and $250,000, while condo living offers an entry point as low as $125,000 for a single bed and single bath unit. Prospective residents need to move quickly though – homes often sell within a week, versus the national average of over five weeks.

Double Blue Ribbon winner
Reseda is served by the Community Consolidated School District 15. Students start at either Lincoln or Virginia Lake Elementary for preschool through sixth grade and both of these schools garner a B-plus rating from Niche. Students come together for grades seven and eight at Walter R. Sundling Junior High School, which also received a B-plus from Niche, and attend Palatine High School to complete their primary education. Highly rated by Niche, with an A grade, Palatine High is home to an applied technology department with coursework that offers the potential for students to earn college credit through their studies. It has also received the Department of Education’s Blue Ribbon Award twice. Nearby, “Harper Community College offers a program called the Harper Promise,” says Jacobs, “Students from Palatine can get two years of tuition at Harper free if they meet the requirements.” Private options include the Quest Academy, the St. Theresa School and Immanuel Lutheran School.

Pristine fields and forest preserves
With the Palatine Trail running along the southern edge of Reseda, outdoor recreation is a big part of life here. This trail runs west to the Gbur Sports Fields and Hamilton Reservoir, where residents have plenty of space to explore trails, along with baseball, soccer and pickleball courts too. Secluded Cherrywood Park offers a quiet playground for kids and when residents want to enjoy the great outdoors, they head a little north, says Jacobs. “Deer Grove Forest Preserve – it was the first forest preserve in Cook County, and maybe one of the largest. There are picnic areas, open fields, horse trails, a toboggan hill and so much open space.” The preserve also offers hiking and fishing opportunities.

Greek specialties in Reseda
Reseda residents keep it local, with the family-owned Palatine Inn serving up American and Greek fare all day – they’re known for their Grecian-style skirt steak. Just down the road Chiggy’s Gyros serves up their handheld specialties, great for grab and go, just like the pizzas and appetizers at Pizza Bella. For a lighter meal, customize an omelet at Annie’s Restaurant & Pancake House, then stop next door to grab groceries from the Eurofresh Market. Palatine Plaza features an Ace Hardware store and a Planet Fitness, but for a one-stop shopping trip, folks in Reseda head up to Deer Grove Centre where they can hit big-box retailers like Jewel-Osco, Aldi, The Home Depot and TJ Maxx all at once.

Bike-friendly streets, commuter-friendly service
“The downtown train station provides convenient access to other suburbs along the line and to the city,” says Jacobs, highlighting service along the Metra to and from Chicago. Still, residents in Reseda will need a bike or car for most travel. The well-kept Palatine Trail and quiet streets make it safe for bikers and makes Reseda more bikeable than the average city. Emergency care can be found nearby when residents need it, with NorthWest Community Hospital only a 4-mile drive away. O’Hare International Airport is only 16 miles away and offers flights to pretty much anywhere in the world.

Hit the streets in Palatine
Most Reseda residents make the short trip to downtown Palatine for regular events like the Street Fest in late August, a three-day event of music, festivities, food from local vendors plus fun and games. The Palatine Hometown Fest coincides with this community’s Fourth of July celebration and features a fireworks display send off. A more recent addition, Oktoberfest runs in late September, and celebrates German culture and traditions. All of these events bring out residents of Reseda and the greater Palatine community, and for big-city events, Chicago is only a Metra ride away, with art, music and of course Chicago sports.
