Country club lifestyle at Oak Hills
The Oak Hills neighborhood overlooks the Oak Hills Golf Course and is surrounded by forest preserves and natural areas. Comprised of subdivision condos from the Oak Hills Country Club Village and custom-built single-family homes, Oak Hills is a serene residential community tucked in Palos Heights, a suburb 30 miles south of the windy city of Chicago. Area residents enjoy well-kept homes on bucolic streets, top-performing school systems, easy access to outdoor recreation and entertainment opportunities, as well as the myriad shops and restaurants in both Palos Heights and Orland Park. "A lot of people end up moving to Oak Hills from Palos Park for the townhomes and the golf course," says Laurie Mead, a local real estate broker and Realtor with @properties who has sold over 150 homes in Cook County.
