Are you looking for the best value, the best service, the most amenities? You'll find it in Park Forest. Since 1949, when it was hailed as one of the nation's first totally planned model communities, Park Forest has been looking ahead, anticipating -- not just meeting -- the diverse needs of its residents.

Incorporated in 1926, the Village of Richton Park has managed to maintain its quaint, village atmosphere, in spite of rapid growth, for better than half a century. Richton Park remained a relatively small bedroom community for most of its existence, until the suburban boom in the Chicago area reached the south suburbs in the late 1960's and early 1970's. At that time the village population went from under 1,000 to nearly 10,000. A second growth wave is now taking place and is predicted to put the village population around 15,000 at the turn of the century.

The Village of University Park was founded in 1967 as a planned community. In 1984, the Village changed its name from Park Forest South to University Park to more accurately reflect the link to Governors State University and its Industrial Park. Residents are proud of their community and dedicated to the maintenance of its intrinsic values.
