Oak Park, Hoffman Estates, IL

Oak Park in Hoffman Estates occupies a 40-acre section of the village’s northwest corner, where tree-lined streets border a 25-acre natural area and a 1.8-mile loop of the Poplar Creek Trail. The trail connects directly to the 4,700-acre Poplar Creek Forest Preserve, giving residents immediate access to marked hiking and cycling routes as well as fishing at the on-site 12-acre lake. A 9,000-square-foot community center houses a fitness room, two multi-purpose gyms, and an outdoor aquatic complex with lap lanes and a zero-depth entry pool. Two playgrounds, a lighted baseball field, and four lighted tennis courts sit within a five-minute walk of most residences. The neighborhood lies less than two miles from the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Route 59 Metra station, placing downtown Chicago within a 45-minute train ride and O’Hare International Airport within a 20-minute drive. Shopping and dining options at the 1.3-million-square-foot Woodfield Mall and surrounding plazas are reachable in under ten minutes by car.
