Oak Lawn

Oak Lawn is one of the bigger and more self-contained suburbs on this side of the county — its own downtown around the Metra station, a wide retail base, and a hospital that anchors a good deal of local employment.

The housing is mostly post-war and mostly single-family, which means mechanicals and roofs are the common sticking point in a transaction. Getting ahead of the inspection is usually the right call for sellers here.

What the housing looks like

  • Post-war ranches, Georgians and Cape Cods
  • Split-levels and tri-levels on larger lots
  • Condos and townhomes near the Metra station
