The mature community of Chicago Heights claims a rich history that dates back to the
late 1800s. The attributes of a skilled labor force, superb transportation system, and
convenient location have given stability to the largest industrial center within Chicago
Southland. The city is home to scores of thriving companies and several large
manufacturers that employ thousands of workers, providing options for employment close to home. Healthcare institutions like St. James Hospital and Suburban Heights Medical
Center are also ranked among the major employers. Commuters to Chicago rely on the close proximity of major interstates and expressway, although Metra trains to and from the
Loop stop four miles north of Chicago Heights in Homewood. The housing selection is predominantly well kept ranch-style homes mixed with three-bedroom brick bungalows and
tri-levels. Some elegant turn-of-the-century mansions can still be found nestled among pockets of newer construction, including subdivisions of custom-built homes on large
lots.
