Oak Park Real Estate Overview |

|
The Village of Oak Park lies just west of downtown Chicago, and is one of the most popular neighborhoods for new residents, as well as visitors. Oak Park, which covers about 4.7 square miles, draws a crowd because of its architecture, parks and recreational areas, as well as its abundance of shops.
Like the adjacent River Forest, Oak Park prides itself on the Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes in the neighborhood – in fact, Oak Park holds the highest concentration of Wright homes of any place in the United States. Don’t be surprised to see people taking a stroll just to catch a glimpse of the marvels of architecture.
The town has recently undergone revitalization in its business district – you’ll find more nationally familiar stores and restaurants here, like Starbucks or Cold Stone Creamery. Everything you need is in walking distance, but downtown Chicago is only 10 miles away, accessible by car, train, or bus. Easy access has also made Oak Park popular for people living in Chicago to come for a visit.
Gagliardo Realty understands the appeal of Oak Park real estate, and can help you make the decision to invest in a home here. You’ll find the top schools, an active lifestyle, cultural diversity, and a family friendly small town atmosphere that is the envy of many towns.
Click on the following for more information, or call us today with any questions about Oak Park. We are happy to show you around.
A stroll from Downtown Oak Park into
the heart of the residential area is not only possible, but
recommended. You’ll actually get the feeling that you’ve seen these
homes before. Perhaps they will remind you of what you saw in an Art
History textbook, or an architecture magazine. Quite possible, as Frank
Lloyd Wright spent twenty tears in Oak Park building homes.
But
that shouldn’t make you underestimate the rest that Oak Park real
estate has to offer, Choose from homes with styles from American Four
Squares, Victorians, Queen Anne’s, Bungalows, or older or modern
condominium buildings. The Median price for homes is around $375,000
and once you’ve found the on you’re in love with, we’ll take it from
there.
Choose us, and you we’ll give you the personal
attention you need in order to make the right decision. We’ll supply
the information you need, including up to the minute mortgage rates,
and advise you with your best interest in mind. It’s important to us
that you get it right, too.
The first thing you should do here
is to take an architectural tour. Go see the most Frank Lloyd Wright
homes you could ever see in one afternoon. If you wish, we could
arrange it so that you can go on a rollerblading tour with one of the
local tour groups – so if you have those blades handy…
Trust
in our decades of experience in Oak Park – after viewing some of the
pictures of our listings, we’re sure you’ll want to call us for a
viewing. But don’t expect us to wear rollerblades.
Oak
Park has a lot to be proud about when it comes to its schools. They
excel every year, ranking at the top of list of schools in the state.
If education is a major factor in your decision to buy a home, you’ve
come to the right place. Feel free to visit the websites of the schools
we’ve listed below for your convenience:

We know everything about our schools – whatever age your child is,
we can offer sound guidance so you can decide what schools are best for
you. Call us anytime – we’re here for you.
If you’ve been to Oak Park, it won’t
surprise you that the community is lively, active, and proactive about
making connections between its residents. There are a large number of
community organizations that encourage diversity, interacting, and
fostering relationships between all of the various Oak Park residents.
Oak Park is a destination for people from Chicago and beyond. It used
to be the architecture, but it’s not just that anymore. Oak Park enjoys
a thriving arts community, with multiple theater and performance groups
entertaining all year round. The Oak Park Festival Theatre is now
entering its 32nd year performing Shakespeare’s classics, and various
theatre groups offer classes for all ages.
Whether it’s a Farmer’s Market you seek, or a chance to try your hand
at making a stained glass window, there is plenty to take advantage of
in Oak Park. Once you move here, you will immediately feel like a
‘regular’ somewhere, and perhaps even forget about that little city
over there called… Chicago?
We’re happy to show you around the neighborhood during a home tour with you – call us to arrange a time.
