City - Chicago Heights

Chicago Heights carries the kind of history that shaped the entire Chicago region, and today it offers a grounded, affordable alternative to city living just about 30 miles south of the Loop. In 1916, the Lincoln Highway Association chose Chicago Heights as part of the route for the country's first transcontinental highway, a distinction that still connects the city to a bigger American story. Prairie State College anchors the community with continuing education programs and local events, while Governors State University is a short drive away for additional academic resources.

The housing stock reflects that long history, with brick bungalows and older single-family homes sharing space alongside more affordable apartment communities suited to a range of renters. Rental rates here sit well below the Illinois state average, making Chicago Heights one of the more accessible options in south suburban Cook County.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
