An active village community near Chicago
Established in 1939, Stone Park started as a village of 600 and has grown to 5,000 residents. Sitting 16 miles west of Chicago, it’s a convenient location with walkable neighborhood blocks, due to a grid layout, and affordable homes. Mannheim Road holds most of the access to public transportation, along with North Avenue and Lake Street, but also hosts industrial plants and waste management sites, as well as adult entertainment businesses. The area has a handful of local favorite restaurants, a small neighborhood playground and a village government that helps connect the community and maintain the small village feel by encouraging house repairs and sidewalk maintenance. “In Stone Park, people take care of one another,” says local real estate agent of 39 years, Jose Herrara.
No matter what season, Stone Park's neat gridded streets are a great place to call home.
Stone Park is a small, but densely populated village located 16 miles west of Chicago’s city center.

Old but maintained brick bungalows
Walkable blocks of densely packed houses make up the streets of Stone Park. Comfortable and well-maintained brick and stone bungalows sit close together with only small plots of grass between them. With many homes built between 1940 and 1960 and a few in the same style built after the 2000s, the village has put in effort to maintain the condition and price of these homes, especially for newer homeowners. Inspections are mandatory for new buyers, encouraging sellers to make necessary repairs. Housing prices in the area range from as low as $50,000 for a house with renovation potential to $450,000 for newer constructions with around four bedrooms and 3,000 square feet. “Whoever buys, doesn’t sell,” says Andres Lozano, a realtor for the area and resident of Chicago for seven years. “People come here to stay, and they stay for years.”
Rows of brick ranchers and bungalows can be found on the wide streets of Stone Park.

Acres of walking trails at Thatcher Woods

The 245-acre forest preserve features a 5-mile hiking trail that winds through open fields and towering oak woodlands. Those coming for a day's outing can enjoy the shaded picnic pavilions.
