Oak Lawn, Cook County, IL 60453
Formerly known as Black Oaks Grove when it began life as a small farming community, The Village of Oak Lawn, as it is now called, is home to around 56,000 residents. In 1930 there were only 3,000 residents but the figure rose markedly in the decades following the end of WWII due to an influx of migrant workers from the south side of Chicago.
Surviving a massive tornado in 1967 that killed 13 people, the Oak Lawn community went on to re-build its infrastructure to a point where it was home to 63,000 residents in 1971 when Oak Lawn filed for “home rule” status.
The town is best known for its quality health care provision at Christ Hospital which is the area’s largest and employs more than 3,500 personnel. Predominantly a “mature community” relying upon affordable homes and community services, the town chiefs are in the process of re-shaping Oak Lawn in an effort to attract more young families into its fold.
Emphasizing redevelopment rather than development, the town is one third commercial with an array of retail services and business enterprises, mostly along the main streets. The area is popular with business men and women because Oak Lawn is just 38 minutes away from Chicago city.
Thomas W. Lynch & Associates also provide services to clients in nearby Worth and Palos Hills.
