Oak Forest Homes for Sale

One of the Southlands Best-Kept Secrets

The Origins of Oak Forest IL go way back to the mid 1800’s but the city wasn’t incorporated until 1900. Once again the country’s exploding railroad system fueled growth in the area. One of the earliest settlements in Oak Forest was Bachelor’s Grove near 147th Street. If you are unfamiliar with the local folklore regarding Bachelor’s Grove we implore you to do some research. It makes for fun reading and future exploration. One of the catalysts behind Oak Forest IL growth was the building of Oak Forest Hospital at the intersection of 159th Street and Cicero Avenue. At one time the hospital housed 4000 patients. Several neighborhoods were developed in the area surrounding the hospital and remain to this day.
