Orland Park is a southwest Chicago suburb where the directory's category mix leans heavily on real estate and household services. Our listings here total 2,285 across 11 ZIP codes, and real estate sits at the top by a wide margin at 326 listings, well ahead of restaurants at 169 and salons at 150. The mid-tier reads suburban-professional. Sixty-four dentists, 48 insurance agencies, 44 general contractors, and 31 lawyers, with a clothing-store count of 32 reflecting the village's retail anchor along LaGrange Road.
The village sits in Cook County roughly 25 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, with the Metra Rock Island line running through and most of the population centered around the 60462 and 60467 ZIPs. The housing stock is largely post-1970 single-family with a meaningful slice of newer construction in the southern subdivisions. That mix shapes the trades market, where general-contractor work skews more toward kitchen and bath remodeling and finished-basement projects than the gut-rehab work common in the older Chicago neighborhoods.
The ratio of real estate to total listings is notable. At 14 percent, it runs higher than most Cook County suburbs. Brokers here often specialize in inter-suburb relocation, particularly for households moving from the city out to the Lincoln-Way district school footprint that defines part of Orland Park's housing demand.
Dentistry at 64 listings is also above the per-capita average for a village this size, which tracks with the affluent suburban demographic and the strong private-insurance coverage in the local employment base.
Illinois licenses plumbing, electrical, and HVAC contractors through state and municipal pathways that vary by trade. Plumbers are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Roofing contractors register through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Verify status at the relevant board before signing a contract. Real estate licensing runs through IDFPR's Division of Real Estate. Service-call pricing across the trades typically tracks the south-suburban Cook County median, which sits below the North Shore figures but above the further-out collar counties.
