Tucked away in the south suburbs of Chicago
Village West is a tucked-away community near the south suburban Chicago village of Hazel Crest. “It’s a pocket that people don’t normally think of,” says Zelia Cato, a Realtor with RE/MAX 10 with nearly 30 years of experience. There are palatial houses in this area used as duplexes, multi-level townhouses and an exclusive 55-plus community.” Pair that with access to an elite high school, which is a place where people want to stay, less than 30 miles from downtown Chicago.

Village West subdivision and other housing sections
The Village West subdivision is primarily a townhouse development that started in the 1970s. The oldest stock of townhouses has three to four bedrooms and is priced between $150,000 and $300,000. “One of the unique things about the neighborhood is that there are large estates that look like single-family homes, but they’re divided into duplexes,” Cato says. “They’re three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath spacious houses.” The Water’s Edge Condominium Complex is part of this development, a 55+ community with an outdoor pool. Units are priced between $150,000 and $200,000. Outside that community is the Dynasty Lakes subdivision, which has custom-built contemporary houses from the 1990s and early 2000s, with prices between $350,000 and $475,000.
