What Renters Like and Dislike About Palos Heights

My neighborhood has a 15 mile bike path that connects several natural springs in the area. It's a great place to walk or ride bikes with my kids. There are several restaurants nearby. And there are multiple playgrounds to choose from within a 10 min radius.

It is called Mansion row mansions all around school walkable we frequent the pizzeria there is a free library and an actual regular library nearby the park is only a block away nice to walk through too

I like that I can walk to a lot of local mom and pop businesses. There are a lot of unique shops. There is a local store that makes homemade soaps.

People friendly, lots of pet lovers. Close to highways and shopping Nice kept yards and properties. Great restaurants to eat at
