The downtown business district of Oak Park and River Forest creates a vibe, a community, multicultural and inclusive environment like few others in the United States. Turn of the 19^th century charm abounds throughout the streets. It is a warm and friendly village with parks and recreational areas placed strategically throughout the homes so that all the residents enjoy numerous activities ranging from outdoor plays and concerts to soccer and baseball for the children – always just a short walk or bike ride away.

The Villages are “people centered”.
