Brookside Glen
Condos, townhouses and single-families
Most homes were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the area was developed. “This is a common area HOA, but there are 1000 homes that are comprised of all single families. It ranges from two stories to split level to ranches,” Cahill says. “The high-rise condos are Brookside Place, but they’re earmarked in Brookside Glen. There are no restrictions on extensions, shelters, and pools.” Exteriors come with attached garages and pull-up driveways that lead to sidewalks. Townhouses are also around Brookside Glen but carry separate HOAs. Most houses come with over 1,500 square feet and at least four bedrooms. The condos can be priced around $225,000 to $300,000. Single-family homes range from $300,000 to $650,000.

Different parks for different phases
“It just depends on what area you’re in for what park to go to,” Cahill says. “We have a walking trail that encompasses the entire area. We’re down the street from a skate park. The library is down the street.” Union Creek Park, the largest of Brookside Glen’s parks, features a playground, baseball diamonds, a skate park and a picnic area. Arbor Park is a more central location. It holds some exercise spaces, picnic shelters and a smaller playground. Brookside Glen residents practice sustainable farming at the Brookside Bayou and Community Gardens where wooden walkways and raised beds provide space for residents to grow and harvest seasonal produce.

Major Shopping off Harlem Ave and I-80
After an afternoon of shopping, locals can stop for a bite to eat at The Saucy Crab. This Cajun-inspired restaurant features a wide selection of appetizers and seafood dishes like fried pickles, crawfish, and crab cakes. Chef Klaus’ Country Cookin is a casual spot for breakfast and lunch. This restaurant carries regular breakfast staples as well as German-inspired dishes. Weekly grocery hauls can be completed up Harlem Avenue at Jewel-Osco. The northeast end of the neighborhood is full of shopping centers such as Target, Home Goods and Michael’s.

Phase block parties and Odyssey Fun World
“The different phases will host block parties. Tinley Park hosts a block party in July,” Cahill says. “In the downtown area of Tinley Park, they have free concerts once a month in the summer.” Just east of the neighborhood’s borders, you can find Odyssey Fun World, where locals of all ages can play arcade games, compete in a round of laser tag, ride rides, and win prizes. The amusement park is also home to a zipline, which mainly operates in the summer.
Metra and Interstate-80 within 5 miles
“We’re not far from downtown, but you do have to drive,” Cahill says. “You’re literally down the road from Metra station and a mile and a half to the interstate, which connects to I-57, which is 25 to 30 minutes to the city.” Tinley-80th Metra stop is along the Rock Island line, ending on Lasalle Street. Interstate 80 links down towards Indiana and Iowa.
