General Real Estate; Oak Lawn @ 26 Nov 2009 01:10 pm by judyorr
I would like to give thanks to my neighbors in Oak Lawn and the surrounding suburbs. I have sold real estate since 1983 and my first office was a Century 21 that was located on 95th St. in a little strip mall. We then moved to 106th & Ridgeland in Chicago Ridge and then back to Oak Lawn on 95th St. a bit west of Central Ave.
I am now with Classic Realty Group but work mainly out of my home office in Oak Lawn. I grew up in Oak Lawn, as did my husband, and we’re still here.
I love the fact that we can walk to the train (it’s great for downtown closings), Starbucks, Freshline and more. I love how Oak Lawn keeps reinventing itself and is able to attract new vendors and restaurants.
Oak Lawn still offers a great location being the closest southwest suburb to downtown Chicago and capitalized on that by building three higher-end condominium complexes near the newer train station. I had to get a medical test done and it was great having Christ Hospital about 5 minutes away. I’m a city girl and love having everything close, including the I-294 access another 5 minutes away (depending on the traffic back-up).
With everything the village has to offer you can still get more for your money with Oak Lawn real estate. The average Oak Lawn homes price in 2008 was $237,064 compared to $271,028 in Tinley Park and $380,829 in Orland Park. 2009 prices will probably be lower in all 3 villages but I think they will reflect the same trend.
If you’re thinking of buying or selling Oak Lawn real estate give your local neighbor, Judy Orr, a call at 708-536-8200. Judy lives, shops and works in Oak Lawn and knows the village.
