Life in Tinley Park's central subdivisions
On a map, central Tinley Park lies north of the Metra Rock Island Line and south of vast green spaces and community amenities. "Our property taxes have invested in several new amazing parks that are filled with many children from multiple age ranges," says Dr. Mark Alles, an optometrist who has lived and worked in Tinley Park for decades. He and his wife, Jill Alles, co-own Insight Family Vision, Inc., a local business with a close-knit clientele. "There is a wide variety of styles of homes which make a very pleasant and diversified environment to live." These factors, plus a low CAP Index crime score of 2/10 and unique local shops and restaurants create a highly sought-after South Suburb 30 miles from the city center.

Prairie View Middle School, off 175th Street, also scores an A-minus. Over 80% of the student base within Consolidated High School District No. 230 continues to college, according to the district's Illinois Report Card. Victor J. Andrew High School scores an A rating and provides a grand finale for a student's musical education: a nationally recognized field show marching band that competes throughout the United States. Families can also choose from several Catholic grammar schools scattered throughout nearby communities.

Exploring the Tinley Park-Park District
While most central Tinley Park neighborhoods have a green space within walking distance—like circular Tharp Park, which sits at the heart of the Bristol Park subdivision—residents also have access to their neighborhood's thriving Park District. This expanse starts at West 171st Street with Tinley Park Community Park and spreads northwest to Bremen Grove Dog Park. In between are meeting rooms at the Tony Bettenhausen Recreation Center, workout space at Tinley Fitness and the twirling slides and lazy river at White Water Canyon Water Park. When they're not enjoying concessions by the pool in the summer, residents also enjoy indoor swimming, basketball courts, an indoor running track, outside sand volleyball and tennis courts, and a large playground.

Gearing up for Ribfest and more
"Many residents look forward to Tinley Park's Ribfest, which is held at the newly remodeled 80th Ave Train Station," Alles says. "There are also numerous 5K races that many families participate, and the St. Patrick's Day Parade is also a favorite. There are multiple carnivals throughout the summer months as well." On the rare occasion there isn't an annual event on the horizon, residents of all ages find educational enrichment at Tinley Park Public Library—from poetry workshops to technology classes to story times in English, Spanish and Arabic. Folks convene nearby at Tinley Park Convention Center or view famous acts from the lawn at Credit Union 1 Amphitheater.
The Central Tinley Park library is a great place to find a quiet space to work or study.

Lunch at Frankie's or an afternoon at Orland Mall
Just as families tend to stick around in Tinley Park, many of the businesses here have been serving their community for decades. "One of our favorite restaurants is right next door to our business, Frankie's Ristorante, which is also family-owned and run by the 2nd generation of children," Alles says. "It is a popular Italian cuisine by many locals. Another popular German and Slovak cuisine restaurant is Chef Klaus Bier Stube." The Chicago Tribune voted Blueberry Hill Café one of Chicagoland's top ten breakfast restaurants. After their meal, residents choose from Jewel-Osco, ALDI, Whole Foods, and other big-box grocery options, all a short drive away. "Orland Mall is a popular mall with diversified clothing stores located in Orland Park, which is the next town west of Tinley Park," Alles adds.

Tinley Park's diverse housing stock
Most homeowners in central Tinley Park benefit from solid brick construction that has stood the test of time as far back as the 1970s. Three-step ranch-style homes with two-car garages are this community's bread and butter, along with New Traditional homes with arched entryways or large front porches and custom builds in subdivisions like Bristol Park. However, Tinley Park's continuous expansion has given way to many other choices, from Tudor-style townhouses to split-level homes. A drive through these suburbs reveals pristine front lawn care and gated backyards with space for a sunroom, playset and fire pit. Most detached options range from about $350,000 to $610,000, while traditional townhouses and two-bed, one-bath condo units range from $165,000 to $450,000.
Central Tinley Park is home to many large houses with beautiful landscaping.

Getting downtown from central Tinley Park
Central Tinley Park residents are close to both of the village's Metra stations, which sit on the Rock Island Line leading northeast to Chicago's LaSalle Street Station. "Many people do commute via car, but traffic will run anywhere from 50 to 80 minutes arrival time," Alles adds. Drivers braving the 30-mile commute choose between Interstates 57 and 80 before merging onto Interstate 94 towards the city center. They're 16 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport and 44 from Chicago O'hare International Airport for commercial flights. As for medical care or career opportunities, the recently added Loyola Medicine Tinley Park sits 3.5 miles west of center.
