Serene suburban living in Country Club
A drive down Country Club Drive gives a glimpse into the essence of this Chicago Heights community. The elegant and well-maintained homes sit away from the street, allowing passersby to admire the architecture in all its glory. “Our neighborhood is close to so many different resources. We have more golf courses within a 10 minute drive than some of the world’s golf capitals. We have a great park district and walking trails, and we have beautiful, historic homes that sell for much less than the surrounding suburbs,” says Valerie Kearns, a broker with Baird & Warner, who has over 15 years of experience and is local to the neighborhood.
There are a wide variety of housing styles in Country Club, IL.

Historic homes in all shapes and sizes
Home styles are diverse, from the classic Chicago bungalows and Split-Level homes to the statelier Mediterranean Revivals, Dutch Colonials, American Foursquare, and Georgian Revivals. “The value of the homes in the neighborhood is a huge draw. They are typically priced lower than surrounding suburbs, which is surprising due to the amount of beautiful historic homes listed on the National Registrar. We even offer historic homes and gardens tours throughout the year,” Kearns says. Homeowners here enjoy tree-lined sidewalks and lots larger than the national average at lower prices. The median sales price for a single-family home hovers around $200,000, with home prices ranging from $110,000 for a three-bedroom bungalow that needs a cosmetic refresh to $340,000 for an updated historic Foursquare.
Tudor-style houses can be found throughout Country Club.

Golf courses, parks and walking trails
At the heart of the community is the Chicago Heights Country Club-West Course. The 100-year-old club offers a 9-hole course, with meticulously manicured green space surrounded by a densely forested backdrop. “The Chicago Heights Country Club is owned by the park district and open to the public. However, Olympia Fields Country Club is the more popular, private option where huge golf tournaments occur,” Kearns says. In addition to the golf course, there are other outdoor recreation areas for residents to enjoy. Landeen Park is tucked away on a residential street, featuring a modest park and playground. To the east, Thorn Creek Trail offers 23 miles of paved and unpaved trails.

“Residents typically drive about 5 to 10 minutes to neighboring communities for essentials. “Although there’s an Aldi nearby, Olympia Fields has a new Pete’s Fresh Market for upscale, organic produce,” Kearns says. “Flossmoor is also where you usually go out to eat. The downtown area is full of local restaurants, shops, bars and boutiques,” Kearns says. For major retailers like Target, Petco and The Home Depot, locals can head to Park Place Plaza, about 6 miles away, while Walmart Supercenter is nearby on Western Avenue. Those looking to stay close to home can head to Big Apple Pancake House or Skyline Restaurant for brunch with family and friends.

Residents can also utilize the facility for casual weekends or summer afternoons of fun to more formal functions such as weddings, banquets and bridal showers. The park district also puts on annual events open to the public, “There’s always something to do. The city and park district always has sponsored events and parades. The last event was night golf, where locals played on the range with glow-in-the-dark balls. I don’t even like golf, but I had a great time,” Kearns says
