Palos Heights:
A Quiet Community Place

Harlem Avenue, stretching north to south through the heart of the community, is its commercial center, with a myriad of goods and service stores. Great looking homes spread throughout the neighborhoods, occasionally separated by a well-landscaped park or attractive school or church. Shopping is often within convenient walking distance for many residents.

Behind the tranquil backdrop, Palos Heights offers residents a bounty of services to meet every need. The town’s growing park district currently maintains six public parks and an Olympic-size community swimming pool, plus various programs for all ages. Numerous private and public area golf courses make Palos Heights party to the surrounding area’s renowned status as a suburban golfing capital.

Handsome parks and a beautiful lake and nature preserve provide residents with excellent opportunities for recreation, and a myriad of city-planned sports and recreation programs give them plenty to do. The 14,000 acres of Cook County Forest Preserves nearby enhance the city’s contacts with nature.

Four award-winning school systems serve the community, together with several private and parochial systems. Higher education is in and around surrounding communities. A high-quality hospital, also within the city’s boundaries, assures residents speedy, expert medical attention when needed.

The quiet country atmosphere offered by Palos Heights makes the city an inviting place to live and raise a family.
