A Community That Delivers Work-Life Balance
Clarendon Hills itself is one of the Chicago area’s quintessential small towns: friendly, walkable, and brimming with local character. It’s the kind of place where neighbors know each other, kids play in the park after school, and folks head downtown for lunch or an evening out.
Here are just a few reasons people LOVE living here:
Walkable Downtown Lifestyle - Enjoy boutique shopping, cafes, fitness studios, and great restaurants just steps from home. Whether you’re grabbing a latte, meeting friends for dinner, or browsing local shops — everything feels close and convenient.
Easy Commuting - If you work in the city — or simply enjoy occasional trips downtown — the close-by Metra station is a game-changer. It’s one of the features that truly sets Clarendon Hills apart.
Parks & Outdoor Space - You’ll find plenty of green space within walking distance — including Park Avenue Park, offering soccer fields, a pavilion, and wide-open spaces for weekend fun.
Strong Schools & Community Spirit - Clarendon Hills is known for top-rated schools and has several newer school buildings less than 26-years-old (Walker Elementary built in 2005, Prospect Elementary built in 2004, and Clarendon Hills Middle School built in 2000). This is a community that values families, education, and local traditions.
From its walkable location to its resident-focused amenities, Park Avenue Station delivers a lifestyle that young professionals and established homeowners both appreciate. As a realtor with 36 years in this community, I’ve watched how properties with such thoughtful design and placement continue to hold their value and attract buyers looking for quality of life and long-term investment potential.
