Palos Hills, IL

Palos Hills is a southwest suburban Chicago city surrounded by Palos Park, Palos Heights, Worth, Bridgeview, and Hickory Hills. Moraine Valley Community College is one of its clearest local landmarks, bringing students and a regional education presence into an otherwise residential suburb. The city sits near the forest-preserve country of the Palos area, so it has more access to woods, trails, and open space than many Chicago suburbs while still being tied to the everyday road network of the southwest metro.
