Niles, IL Townhome for Sale

Niles, Illinois sits on the edge of Chicago and is known for the Leaning Tower of Niles, a half-size replica of Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa that now serves as a landmark and one of the area’s most recognizable attractions. Many of the roughly 30,000 residents commute to jobs in Chicago about 15 miles southeast, while local employers include the Coca-Cola Bottling Company and audio manufacturer Shure, Inc. Housing in Niles ranges from condos, townhouses and apartments to midcentury bungalows, bi-levels and New Traditional-style homes, with larger complexes clustered near Washington Park on the north end and around Lawrencewood Gardens and O'Shanter Estates on the south end. Property taxes are lower here than in nearby Chicago and Park Ridge.
