Everything is not developed
Not every inch of land is developed in this southwest suburban Chicago neighborhood in the village of Tinley Park. Harlem Avenue Estates is a mainly residential neighborhood bounded by Harlem Avenue to the west and located a couple of miles south of the main village of Tinley Park. “A lot of the green space in the neighborhood acts as a buffer from the noise on Harlem Avenue and the residential area,” says Alexandria Murphy, a Realtor at Keller Williams Preferred Realty with over five years of experience.
Harlem Avenue Estates is unique because plenty of open land has yet to be developed.

One official park among green space
Even though there’s plenty of undeveloped land and green space, there’s only one official park in the neighborhood: Jean Rauhoff Park, a small pocket space at the corner of 177th and Sayre. Most of the park is covered by a playground with modern, colorful climbing equipment and a swing set. A park bench is on either side of the play area, and a picnic table is in the green space. A tree canopy shades the playground. For a bigger facility, Memorial School Park is east of the neighborhood, totaling about four acres with a baseball field, basketball courts and a playground.
Rauhoff Park in Tinley Park offers hours of outdoor entertainment for children.
Swings, slides, and climbing structures in Rauhoff Park keep kids active.
